GDS Instruments
GDS Instruments designs, develops and manufactures materials testing machines and software used for the computer-controlled testing of soils and rocks. This technology is used to evaluate the mechanical properties that are key in geotechnical and earthquake engineering design. Karl Snelling (Managing Director), Jerry Sutton (Technical Director) and Clayton Dodd (Sales Director) have worked at GDS for more than 40 years. This combined experience ensures customers can expect a consistency in the GDS approach of its equipment and its support.
GDS believes in providing the best equipment for the job combined with first class support from engineers who understand the equipment. GDS design and develop all their products in-house using their team of geotechnical engineers, software designers, hardware designers (3D CAD) and electrical/electronics designers and specialists. This allows GDS to have complete control of the design, build, test and shipping process. GDS' in-house expertise allows them the capability to design bespoke systems (hardware, electronics and software), which forms a significant part of the GDS business.
