Geotechnical / Soil Investigation

Site investigation can be regarded as an essential part of the preliminary design of any construction project which determines the geological (geology), engineering (soil and rock mechanics), hydrological (groundwater) and environmental (contamination) characteristics of the ground. It is fundamental to safe, efficient and economic development.

We ensure that the ground investigation is designed and implemented correctly to meet the project requirements. Where necessary, our multi-disciplined teams are able to integrate the scope of works to cover both geotechnical and environmental concerns in order to provide a technically robust and cost effective site investigation solution.

We provide both factual and interpretive reports. Ground Investigation Reports (GIR) and Geotechnical Design Reports (GDR) are provided to meet the requirements of Eurocode 7 (EC7). We have established a reputation for analysing the problem and delivering solutions and design reports of unrivalled quality and clarity.
