How we create an impact

From railways and dams to oil fields and landfills, we tailor every solution to meet rigorous technical, environmental, and safety standards. Our impact stems from three pillars of service:

Geotechnical Investigation

We conduct comprehensive investigations to reveal subsurface conditions, starting with desk studies and progressing through trial pits, borehole drilling, and laboratory testing. These insights form the foundation for safe, informed.

Geotechnical Design

Our team delivers robust geotechnical designs, covering shallow and deep foundations, slope stability, retaining walls, dams, and landfill systems. We combine advanced modelling with rigorous safety standards to ensure reliable.

Asset Management

We provide end-to-end asset management for geotechnical systems, focusing on long-term performance, resilience, and risk reduction. Our lifecycle approach ensures assets remain safe, efficient, and cost-effective throughout their operational life.

Quality, Environment, and Safety

GEM Success operates a Quality, Environmental and Safety Management System (QES) that is of international standards.

The application of our QES system is mandatory for all projects. This means that quality assurance procedures are implemented on our projects and reporting, and that we undertake rigorous health and safety and environmental risk assessments before commencing work. Every project has an originator, and a checker/Approver, we complex projects are subject to external reviewers.
