Geomation’s field data acquisition and control solutions help customers take physical measurements in harsh and remote environments.

In June 2010 Roctest acquired the assets of Geomation Inc, of Denver, CO. “The acquisition of the Geomation product line is consistent with our strategy of offering the most complete toolbox of solutions to our customers,” said Francois Cordeau, President & CEO of Roctest Ltd. “The Geomation product line will allow direct data acquisition of our geotechnical instruments as well as integrate seamlessly with our recently released monitoring service SHMLive. I am very pleased to be able to add leading technology with decades of proven results in the field and millions of dollars invested in its development.”

Data acquisition systems are a required element of the structural health monitoring system of all major civil engineering projects. Roctest has traditionally provided that aspect of the implementation through partnerships with third parties, including Geomation. Roctest will now be able to offer customers a more comprehensive solution based on its own in-house technology.
Geomation was founded in 1982 to satisfy the need for improved methods of obtaining timely physical measurements from the field. Its System 2300 was the first networked system designed specifically to overcome the barriers inherent in collecting data automatically from instrument clusters deployed within and around dams. The recently updated OutDAQTM generation uses industry standard communication protocols and is more cost effective and reliable for dispersed outdoor installations.
John Klebba, founder and CEO of Geomation, has committed to join Roctest in order to facilitate the transition of the manufacturing site to St-Lambert, to support the training of the Roctest sales channel and to continue the promotion of the Geomation product line.

“I am very excited about Roctest’s ability to offer unique solutions to our customers,” said John Klebba. “With the industry’s most complete product line of geotechnical instruments and structural health monitoring solutions, as well as worldwide distribution capabilities, Roctest should be able to expand the market for Geomation products.”
