21 SEPTEMBER 2025 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Pioneering an Industry Since 1995 Adapted from Information by GeoPro, Inc. Founded in 1995, GeoPro, Inc. has developed and maintained a reputation as a leader in the ground source heat pump industry. The company firmly believes it is not enough to simply succeed, but to do so with integrity. GeoPro strives to fulfill the promise of three interrelated missions: Product Mission - To develop, distribute, and sell quality bentonite-based thermal grouts exceeding industry standards for quality, consistency, and pumpability. Research Mission - To increase the understanding of thermodynamic and physical characteristics of thermal grouts leading to improved products for the geothermal heating and cooling industry. Social Mission - To educate and provide quality services to help guide practitioners and policymakers, ensuring the continued success of the industry and the subsequent environmental benefits inherent to the wide-scale adoption of this geothermal technology. GeoPro has quickly become a leading expert in the geothermal heating and cooling industry, performing the original research to develop thermally-enhanced grouts, not only paving the way for the grouting industry, but improving ground heat exchanger performance in general. The GeoPro Team took the knowledge gained from its research and built the thermal grout market from the ground up. In addition to pioneering the thermally-enhanced grout industry over the past 30 years, the company is also involved in educational outreach activities, as well as the development of training materials and industry standards. When it comes to the thermally-enhanced grout market, GeoPro was the first to: \ Develop a saleable product for the ground source heat pump industry. \ Obtain NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification to NSF/ANSI Standard 60 to guarantee purity and suitability for contact with drinking water. \ Educate mechanical engineers about the cost advantages of thermal grout in commercial projects. \ Assist industry software developers with algorithms to properly model the effect of thermal grout on ground heat exchanger performance. \ Develop a “selectable” product, where a targeted thermal conductivity value can easily and repeatably exceed minimum project requirements (set forth by the Engineer of Record). \ Implement a field quality control program, where field-collected samples are sent directly from the project (on a blind sample basis) and then tested for actual thermal performance to verify compliance with project specifications. \ Offer “guaranteed” loopfield design assistance to engineers with little to no ground loop heat exchanger design experience. \ Offer a graphite-based thermal enhancement alternative to silica sand. No other grouting products in the market have been independently tested or put to use as extensively as GeoPro’s Thermal Grout Lite or Thermal Grout Select. When it comes to thermally-enhanced grouts, GeoPro continues to set the standard by which all others measure their success.
