Hong Kong Geotechnical Engineering Office

The Hong Kong Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) is a government agency responsible for ensuring the safety and stability of infrastructure related to the land and underground in Hong Kong. It conducts engineering assessments, designs ground improvement projects, and monitors soil and rock conditions to prevent subsidence, landslides, and foundation failures. GEO's work is essential for safe construction, land use planning, and disaster prevention, especially given Hong Kong’s complex terrain and high population density. It collaborates with engineers and scientists to manage geotechnical risks and protect public safety.
