Geotechnical Consultancy

Geotechnical engineering is concerned with the behaviour of earth materials and the application of soil and rock mechanics. Ground & Water undertakes all forms of ground investigation to determine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of soil and rock and their relation to foundation design, retaining structures, earthworks, roads, hardstanding and drainage.

This requires a thorough phased Site Investigation, which can be Geotechnical, Contaminated Land or a combination of both. For all Site Investigations Phase 1 is a detailed desk and pre-acquisition study to understand the site’s history, geology, hydrology, setting, proposed use and any associated risks, which are thoroughly assessed.
