About the group
Two disciplines. One standard of evidence.
Stratum Scientific and Stratum Geo provide specialised environmental, geological, geotechnical and regulatory compliance services to developments, industries and organisations across South Africa.
Together, the companies help clients understand and manage the environmental and ground related risks tied to their operations and developments. The approach combines scientific investigation, field monitoring, accredited laboratory analysis, risk assessment and practical compliance reporting, giving clients defensible information on which to base operational and development decisions.

Not simply to collect data.
Across both businesses, Stratum places a strong emphasis on accurate data, scientific integrity and defensible reporting. Fieldwork, laboratory analysis and reporting are undertaken in alignment with applicable standards and regulatory frameworks, with laboratory analyses performed through SANAS accredited laboratory partners.
The objective is not simply to collect data, but to translate scientific findings into clear, practical recommendations that minimise operational disruption, reduce regulatory risk and protect long term asset value.
