In addition to consulting engineering services, we have often project managed environmental and geotechnical aspects through preferred sub-contracted consultants.
Increasingly clients have requested a one-stop service to deliver foundation design solutions and to assist with the undertaking of environmental studies and investigations. As a result, in May 2007 we established a GeoEnvironmental Unit, to provide services to support the engineering portfolio of work and to assist clients during the pre-acquisition, planning application and design process.
The GeoEnvironmental Unit are well versed in land acquisitions, with team members having formerly worked for housing developers and have provided due diligence surveys and audits for large corporations, financial institutions, housing and commercial developers. The team have vast experience of conducting site investigations, performing quantitative risk assessments (for human health and controlled waters) and submitting reports for regulatory (NHBC, Local Authority and Environment Agency) approval.
In addition to environmental studies the team routinely conduct geotechnical site investigations at the same time as any environmental investigation so as to provide a cost effective site investigation strategy. Geotechnical investigations are often required to assess ground conditions for foundation design, slope stability assessments or for design of any necessary earthworks.
