specialist environmental consultancy

A Leading Environmental Consulting Company in South Africa

GPT is a specialist environmental consultancy focused on groundwater, contaminated land, and environmental compliance.

We work with clients across mining, oil and gas, and industrial sectors providing technically sound, practical solutions that support both regulatory requirements and operational goals.

From initial investigation through to remediation and long-term management, we guide our clients through the full environmental lifecycle with clarity and confidence.

A Legacy of Technical Leadership

Founded in 1994 by Dr. V d A Coetsee, GPT was one of the first companies in South Africa to conduct environmental soil and groundwater testing at a professional consulting level.

Since then, we have built a reputation for technical excellence in groundwater and environmental consulting, working on complex projects across South Africa, the African continent, and internationally.

While the industry has evolved, our focus has remained the same: delivering solutions that are scientifically sound, practically implementable, and aligned with our clients’ needs.

What Sets Us Apart

Technical Depth You Can Trust

Our team combines decades of hydrogeological and environmental expertise with a strong foundation in scientific analysis and modelling.

Full Lifecycle Support

We don’t operate in silos. From investigation and compliance to remediation and monitoring, we support every stage of your project.

Data-Driven Approach

Our advanced GIS and database management capabilities allow us to turn environmental data into clear, actionable insight.

Local Expertise, Real Value

As a South African consultancy, we offer the agility, accessibility, and cost-efficiency that global firms often can’t; without compromising on quality.

Focused on Delivering Value

We understand that environmental services are often seen as a necessity. That’s why we focus on delivering solutions that provide real value, not just compliance.

How We Work With clients

Supporting Projects Across Africa and Beyond

While we are proudly South African, our experience extends across the African continent and internationally, including projects in Europe and the United Kingdom. We are well-positioned to support projects across Africa, providing consistent, high-quality environmental consulting services wherever they are needed.

Practical, Collaborative, and Results-Driven

We believe that effective environmental management requires more than technical expertise. It requires collaboration, clear communication, and a practical understanding of real-world challenges.

Our approach is to work closely with clients, providing guidance that is not only technically sound, but also commercially and operationally viable.
