About Soiltec

Building the UAE's Foundations Since 2006

From a focused piling contractor to one of the region's most trusted geotechnical firms — our story is one of relentless growth, technical precision, and client partnership.

Our Story

Two Decades of Geotechnical Excellence

Our Founding

Established in 2006 in Dubai, Soiltec Piling & Foundation LLC has grown into one of the country's most respected names in geotechnical contracting. The company was founded to address the increasing need for technically sound, safety-driven, and cost-efficient piling and foundation solutions — including bored piling, shoring, and ground improvement — in a rapidly developing UAE market.

International Expertise, Local Insight

Backed by a highly experienced core team, Soiltec integrates global standards with deep local insight. Our engineering professionals have collaborated with renowned international firms, bringing advanced expertise in deep foundation design, retaining wall systems, and ground engineering techniques to projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all seven Emirates.

Growth Across the UAE

As demand for our geotechnical services grew, Soiltec expanded to Abu Dhabi in 2009. Today, with over 700 completed projects and a workforce of 251+ professionals, we operate across all seven Emirates — from Abu Dhabi to Ras Al Khaimah — with a fleet of 77 specialized piling rigs, cranes, and support equipment, delivering customized foundation solutions for clients in infrastructure, high-rise, commercial, and industrial sectors.
