Geotechnical Survey & Soil Investigation
Geotechnical Soil Investigations are done to gather subsurface data at the site to determine the soil engineering parameters and/or shallow groundwater around a site in order to assess suitability of materials for construction and allow accurate design of earthworks and foundations. We carry out geotechnical investigations in accordance with “Code of Practice for Site Investigation, (BS 5930:2015)” and “Code of Practice for testing soils for civil engineering purposes (BS 1377:1990)”.
