About

Quality data for first decisions

First Pass was founded on the idea that quality geotechnical data doesn’t have to be expensive. It is our mission to help companies confirm, collect, and produce top quality geotechnical data sets within their means.

Founded by a team of data collection specialists, First Pass was created to address a gap in the industry – the transition from exploration-style data collection to geotechnical data collection suitable for engineering and development. These same skillsets are equally valuable across all project stages that require high quality geotechnical data. With global experience supporting projects from evaluation through operations, First Pass helps clients integrate each stage seamlessly and with confidence.

First Pass specializes in execution, bringing proven experience delivering geotechnical programs on logistically complex projects worldwide. Our team is accustomed to operating in remote, demanding, and fast-moving environments while maintaining high standards of data quality and safety.

Vision

Grounded in experience alongside leading consulting firms, First Pass is committed to supporting - not replacing - consultants by providing reliable, well-prepared data that underpins confident geotechnical and hydrogeological decision-making.

First Pass provides flexible staffing solutions that strengthen project teams. Whether deploying our specialists or building in-house capacity, we help ensure high quality data is collected efficiently and within your means.
