SITE INVESTIGATION

In advance of any construction project, we can arrange for comprehensive site investigations to be carried out. These can include an assessment of potential contamination as well as the physical properties of the ground. Both of these factors are likely to be relevant to the design and economics of any new development.

Investigations are tailored to suit the specific site but could involve:

Desk study and site walkover
Trial pits
Boreholes
Sampling
Laboratory testing (geotechnical and environmental)
Factual and interpretive reports

We can also arrange similar investigations for existing buildings, for example to ascertain the cause of structural problems. These might also involve:

Tree root analysis
Drains testing
Concrete testing
