GDS Instruments was founded in England in 1979, then known as "Geotechnical Digital Systems". The company’s first product was the computer controlled triaxial testing system based on the "Bishop & Wesley'’ stress path cell. The cell was linked to the computer via microprocessor controlled screw pumps driven by stepping motors.

The screw pump or "digital controller" proved to be a major success in its’ own right as a computer controlled pressure source. The triaxial testing system was continuously developed throughout the 1980s and also became a major success. This was particularly so with users wishing to carry out advanced testing without first spending many years developing new equipment.

The continuing success of these first two products has enabled us to comprehensively expand the product range. We now provide our users with high pressure triaxial testing systems, high frequency triaxial testing systems, consolidation testing and logging systems, commercial testing systems as well as state-of-the-art transducers and logging. We continue to develop hardware and software based solutions to our users’ problems. Our biggest market is our existing users who pay us the compliment of reinvesting in GDS products.
The flexibility of our software-based systems, in particular the new GDSLAB software, means that we can usually suggest a strategy for meeting your testing requirements – whatever they may be.

Please call us on +44 (0)1256 382450 or fax us on +44 (0)1256 382451 for the personal attention of GDS Directors, Dr. Bruce Menzies, Dr. Patrick Hooker or Mr. Karl Snelling, or e-mail the technical support team on support@gdsinstruments.com.
