Güralp Systems Ltd

Güralp has been developing revolutionary force-feedback broadband seismic instrumentation for more than 35 years. Our sensors are used worldwide by academic, public, governmental and private organisations to understand and explore our world. Guralp broadband sensors record seismic events and seismic signals of all kinds, from teleseismic events occurring on the other side of the planet, to microseismic events such as those induced by unconventional hydrocarbon extraction (e.g. hydraulic fracturing). Our high fidelity digitisers ensure that these signals are recorded with the highest resolution, accurate timing and exceptional speed for applications from academic research to earthquake early warning. We are constantly developing new ways of engineering this precision technology into smaller and more advanced casings that can be deployed in the harshest of environments, from the Antarctic ice sheet; to bore-holes hundreds of metres deep; to the world's most active volcanoes and deepest ocean trenches. A UK business, we employ around 100 staff at our head office and manufacturing facility based near Reading. Our global network of distributors provide local customer support and sales services.
