UK-based RSK Group is expanding into the Nordic region with the acquisition of Danish geotechnical investigation and design firm 4AP-Geoteknik.
Environmental, engineering and technical services group RSK acquired the Danish geotechnical engineering consultancy and service provider towards the end of March.
4AP-Geoteknik specialises in land-based geotechnical investigations, environmental studies, testing and monitoring, and design.
It owns and operates three vehicle-mounted drilling rigs, supplies in-house drilling equipment, and operates a laboratory for sample testing and analysis.
Headquartered in Hadsten in central Denmark, the company works across Jutland, Funen and Zealand. Its clients come from within the construction, housebuilding, engineering, utility, industrial and public sectors.
4AP-Geoteknik managing director Peter Frederiksen will continue to lead the business.
“Being a part of RSK gives new opportunities for 4AP-Geoteknik and its employees. It enables us to grow and develop more than would have been possible alone. We are proud to be part of RSK’s journey into the Nordic region,” he said.
4AP-Geoteknik is currently eyeing larger energy projects as an area for future growth, which is a sector that RSK Group companies have solid experience in.
RSK Group chief executive officer Alan Ryder said: “The acquisition of 4AP-Geoteknik is RSK’s first in the Nordic region, and we are delighted to have initiated our growth here with a company that has built up a solid reputation for client satisfaction since its inception in 1978.
“We are keen to support 4AP-Geoteknik on its continuing geographic and sector growth, working with RSK companies and clients across Europe.”
At the beginning of this year, RSK Group bought County Galway-based ground investigation firm Irish Drilling, as it continues to deliver its “ambitious growth strategy”.
