Our Company

Geospec was a private limited company formed in June 1988 by a group of local Engineers, Earth Science graduate to provide integrated Geological, Geophysical and Geotechnical investigation and testing services to potential clients in the Civil Engineering, mining, groundwater and other resource related industries within Malaysia and abroad. To date, Geospec have successfully completed a considerable number of specialist projects especially in Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei. Our clients include both public and private sector employers, notably JKRs of Sarawak and Brunei, state and federal agencies, local and international consultant firms.

Geospec offers integrated, cost effective yet professional services to our potential clients. Geospec strives to provide quality service through the establishment of a quality management system which meets the International Quality system standard ISO 9001:2000 since 2001.
