Ancillary Groundwater Services, which includes aquifer protection and management; borehole camera logging; groundwater contamination assessments; groundwater impact assessments; geotechnical studies and specialist groundwater input as required for legal cases.
GEOSS South Africa (Pty) Ltd is a groundwater and geotechnial consulting company.
Our expert hydrogeologists and GIS database analysts specialise in projects focusing on groundwater exploration, development, monitoring of boreholes, and management and protection of groundwater in South Africa. We also focus on geotechnical services and geotechnical investigations, with a focus on renewable energy and slope sustainability.
GEOSS SERVICES
Our team of well-qualified professionals represent the diverse nature of the company and the services that we offer, within the field of geology, hydrogeology and geotechnical studies. We assist in every step of the process of groundwater exploration, discovery, borehole drilling and groundwater license use applications as well as borehole monitoring and evaluation.
As experts in groundwater consulting our purpose is to assist and enable informed, responsible, and legally compliant long-term groundwater use whilst ensuring environmental protection measures are maximised.
Our staff team are constantly adding new information and project work to our knowledge hub as we aim to educate people about groundwater use and share the geotechnical work GEOSS does.

The benefits of partnering with GEOSS South Africa include delivery of projects on brief, on time and on budget, in accordance with best practices and completed to the highest safety standards.
Livable Urban Waterways Project – Hydrogeological Characterisation of the Sand River Catchment
The issue of water scarcity in Cape Town brought attention to the challenges posed by an increasingly unpredictable climate. The growing demand for water services due to urbanisation and population growth exacerbates the problem, leading to scarcity and potential conflicts in social, economic, and environmental aspects. However, water serves a broader purpose beyond meeting supply […]
