A well planned site investigation is the key to fully understanding the intricacies of the ground conditions at a site and to identifying the nature and extent of contaminants and their interaction with the environment. Our services have been developed to deliver consistent technical data to meet a wide range of objectives.

We are able to offer the following investigative and monitoring services:-

Pre-investigative assessments using desk-based research to evaluate and design the most cost-effective approach to the investigation.

Design of targeted site investigation programmes with clear objectives.

In-house plant for trial pitting and conducting in situ geotechnical testing.

Deep probing utilising cable percussive, rotary and window sampling drilling rigs.

Soil-gas monitoring using soil vapour probes, and PID gas analysers.

Groundwater monitoring and sampling using in situ and ex situ sampling techniques.

Air quality, noise and dust monitoring.

Sampling of soils, groundwater and suspect materials to strict sampling guidelines to preserve integrity and use of a “chain of custody” sample handling system.

Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of laboratory results to assess site-specific risks.

Assessment of geotechnical conditions with respect to future development.

Preparation of actual and interpretative environmental and geotechnical reports.
