What do we do
Electrical Repair and Maintenance
Apart from designing and manufacturing equipment, Gouda Geo-Equipment is your partner for repair and general or routine maintenance (i.e. servicing) and even restoring machinery and equipment back to working order. This is to ensure our geotechnical instruments work efficiently worldwide and to prevent breakdown and unnecessary repairs. We will keep your equipment running smoothly in any respect so you can continue your CPT tests.
Mechanical Repair and Maintenance
While we design and manufacture equipment, Gouda Geo-Equipment is also your Dutch CPT partner for repair and general or routine maintenance (i.e. servicing) and even restoring machinery and equipment back to working order (rebuilding or remanufacturing). We help international costumers restore their geotechnical instruments with our worldwide services. This to ensure they work efficiently and safely and to prevent breakdown and unnecessary repairs.
Calibration of Measuring Instruments
All CPT measuring equipment, such as electrical CPT cones, measuring heads, data acquisition systems, and alike needs to be calibrated once in a while (see relevant standards). It helps customers achieve the highest measurement quality and productivity.
Training and Instruction
Job instruction and training are proven techniques for teaching new skills and safe, healthy work habits. It also ensures that the operator has much more confidence in what he does and he therefore works faster and more effectively. All new employees, those who transferred to new, international jobs, and personnel who are not familiar with this kind of CPT soil investigation should receive instruction and training so they know how to handle our geotechnical instruments well.
