  • Site Investigation – The benefits
A well specified site investigation will give you detailed information about the ground conditions which can then be used to decide the optimum foundation solution for your development. Additionally, it will identify any hidden risks present which can then be resolved before any building work is started. 
 
Many site investigations are left until the last minute, which leads to additional time pressure for all parties. However, the earlier you ask us to get involved, the more benefits we can bring to your project.
 
Good ground investigation supported by detailed recommendations can often produce significant savings through innovative foundation design.
 
All our clients benefit from our technical knowledge. By using the inherent properties of the soil in the design process we are frequently able to recommend geotechnical engineering solutions of appropriate strength but at lower cost than their traditional steel and concrete alternatives.

Our early involvement will frequently save money at the foundation stage which can then be freed up and used elsewhere in the development to good effect.

Additionally, an early understanding of any geotechnical or geo-environmental risks that could impact either on land value or planned land use can help reduce the potential for significant delays or cost overrun during later stages of a project.

Site Investigation Services

We provide comprehensive design, consultancy and contracting services for all types of industrial, commercial and residential geotechnical and geo-environmental projects.

With specialists in areas such as slope stability, earthworks design and specification, highway engineering, geothermal engineering and contamination assessment and remediation we are able to provide you with high level advice and design services which will cover the majority of your needs.

We have built one of the most comprehensive GIS database systems available in which we hold borehole, map and other geographical datasets allowing us to obtain key information on most UK sites within a short time. This is an invaluable resource in establishing base data for your site and providing an early indication of the underlying structure.
