Geosense Academy helps boost UK engineers’ skills in geotechnical instrumentation

One of Europe’s leading providers of geotechnical instrumentation has been helping enhance skills in key sectors, including civil engineering and infrastructure projects.

Welcoming its first official cohort in August 2022, the Geosense Academy has opened its dedicated training facilities to engineers with the aim of boosting their skills when using advanced measurement technology for civil and structural engineering projects.

“Along with technology and innovation, training is the third factor which enables modern sectors to grow. By increasing engineers’ knowledge of geotechnical instruments and their applications, we can help provides a great foundation of accurate data to support the projects they work on” Tim Clegg, Managing Director of Geosense.

Having provided ad-hoc training to its clients for many years, the Geosense Academy now formalises this training.

Geosense manufactures instrumentation used in the geotechnical, civil engineering, mining and environmental industries and has a particular expertise in vibrating wire and MEMS sensors. Geosense products are used in more than 80 countries.

“Though we are UK-based, our products are used internationally and the training we provide to engineers enables them to better gather critical data which facilitates exciting projects around the globe” adds Tim.

“We’ve provided product training for many years. By establishing the Geosense Academy, we can not only support experienced engineers but new engineers looking to build a solid foundation for a successful career. We can ensure they are ready to get the very best from our products before arriving on site” concludes Tim.

The Geosense Academy is based at the company’s headquarters and production facilities near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. It includes dedicated classrooms and a wide array of measurement technology for hands-on training. The company can also arrange on-site training to target specific project requirements and remote sessions, as shown in the images.

The company is a proud member of several industry groups, including AGS (Association of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Specialists), DFI (Deep Foundations Institute) and Make UK, and operates to some of the highest quality standards, including ISO9001.
