CalGeo offers continuous networking opportunities, highly educational events, and cost-saving services that have the cumulative effect of producing stronger, more profitable members of the geotechnical industry.

Any members you enter as part of your company will receive a copy of all mailings & e-mails generated by CalGeo (notifications of meetings, conferences, workshops, training classes, the newsletter, any special bulletins, etc.). You may also designate additional branch offices to receive this information at no charge. We offer special savings incentives to our members on programs and other packages throughout the year.
