Geotechnical Consultancy

Ground investigation reports draw on the findings of intrusive investigations, where soil is physically tested either in-situ or at the laboratory.

Empirical data is used to inform preliminary foundation design, as well as other geotechnical parameters

At GCL our geotechnical site investigation service offering includes but is not limited to;

  • Trial Pitting
  • Existing Foundation Inspection Pits
  • Infiltration Testing to BRE 365
  • Percolation Testing to BS6297
  • Window Sampling
  • Rotary Drilling (open or cored)
  • Plate Bearing Tests
  • Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Tests
  • Dynamic Probing

We work alongside you every step of the way, and can conduct investigations based on your specification, or we can plan the investigation drawing on our experience of the local area.

Data obtained during the intrusive investigation is analysed and compiled within a Ground Investigation Report, which includes a thorough assessment of the underlying ground conditions, and geotechnical design parameters such as;

  • Foundation Design
  • Floor Slabs
  • Earthworks
  • Excavations
  • Retaining Walls
  • Roads / Pavements
  • Infiltration
  • Concrete Classification
