Geotechnical engineering and engineering geology and are an integral part of the work undertaken by Knight Environmental Limited. Specialists provide services for a wide range of projects from small housing schemes through to commercial developments for blue chip clients and local authorities. Geotechnical services can be provided in conjunction with a contamination and hazard assessment or provided independently.

Appropriate investigations and geotechnical design can lead to substantial economies in the design of foundations, earth retaining structures, earthworks, pavements and landfills. Knight Environmental Limited has the technical experience, skills and understanding to provide innovative, safe and cost effective designs.

We are familiar with civil and structural engineering concepts which allows an integrated approach to be taken across the engineering disciplines. At the same time, a thorough understanding of the geological processes affecting a site can lead to safe and environmentally beneficial designs without causing harm to the surrounding land. We have experienced geologists and engineers who are able to carry out geological, hydrogeological and geomorphological site assessments to enable development to be carried out safely.
