Our expertise and experience in providing innovative and cost-effective ground engineering solutions can add real value to a project from small residential developments, large commercial warehouses and distribution centres to wind turbine sites.
We also have considerable experience in providing assessment and advice for road and rail schemes, as well as conducting appraisals for property acquisitions and transfers.
We identify economical solutions to ground-related problems and have a proven track record of saving money for our clients.
Desk studies
The starting point of any development and the minimum requirement for local authority approval of planning applications.
Ground investigations
If the desk study identifies potential geotechnical problems and/or possible pollutant linkages, we are able to design logical, phased and cost-effective ground investigations.
Risk assessments
Assessment provides a rational and economical basis for appraisal and, if necessary, design of remedial solutions.
Earthworks design & verification
From minor re-profiling works to large development platforms, our engineered solutions have resulted in significant cost savings for our clients.
Ground stability
Development land can be unlocked when ground stability constraints are economically addressed.
Foundation & sub-structure design
For those sites that are not suitable for conventional, unreinforced shallow foundations. Providing a cost-effective solution for developers.
Pre-purchase/divestiture appraisals
Environmental audit of property where ownership is to be transferred with or without planned redevelopment.
Ground gas assessment and design of protection measures
We assess and develop practical ground gas protection solutions for installation in residential and commercial buildings.
Design of remediation schemes
We add value to projects with carefully designed, integrated solutions, this enables us to provide cost-effective and practical remediation solutions.
Material management & waste minimisation
We will seek to advise on material re-use wherever possible. We can also advise and assist in waste classification and disposal as required.
