Web Support
GDS helpsheets are available here for download - these cover many topics that our users find useful in their everyday geotechnical testing.  In addition to helpsheets is an archive of technical papers written based on results obtained using GDS equipment or referring to GDS equipment.  Many of these references are available to download.  Finally there are video guides.  Users find the software video guides particularly useful as they are designed to recreate having the basics of each software package demonstrated to you.

Returning equipment for repair
In accordance with UK customs, any item or items that are sent to GDS from outside the UK that are required to be returned to the customer once repaired, must be sent to GDS with the correct customs codes and paperwork.

Please ensure that the shipping company (i.e. DHL, TNT etc) are aware that they will be required to raise a custom entry document (C88) which must accompany the goods.

Failure to do this may mean unnecessary duty is being charged on the shipment.
