News from 2025

A team from the National & Local Joint Engineering Laboratory for Marine Mineral Resources Exploration Equipment and Safety Technology at Hunan University of Science and Technology has published a fascinating paper on developing a low-disturbance, high-pressure-retaining sediment sampler capable of operating at full-ocean depth.

We're pleased to officially welcome Ian Ayling as the new Managing Director of GDS.

Wuhan researchers test moon soil simulant with equipment from GDS Instruments - advancing knowledge in lunar geotechnics and Chang’e-5 mission analysis.

GDS Instruments are visiting Geotechnical trade shows and conferences around the world in June 2025. 

At GDS Instruments, we’ve always been at the forefront of geotechnical testing technology. When we launched GDSLAB v2024 in September last year, we delivered a major leap forward in usability, automation, and data management. Designed with user feedback at its core, it set new standards for efficiency, precision, and seamless testing workflows.

Over the past year, we’ve been working hard to improve and streamline our production process. We’ve introduced batch building to our production workflow, a strategic change that has significantly reduced our lead times. Instead of building systems one at a time, we now manufacture multiple systems in dedicated production batches.
