Ashdown Site Investigation

California Bearing Ratio and Plate Bearing Tests

We can undertake CBR and plate bearing tests to assist with piling mat, foundation, road pavement and ground floor design.

Desk Studies

We deliver high quality, detailed and bespoke desk study reports to support discharge of contaminated land planning and warrantor conditions, to support ground investigation design and to facilitate purchase of sites.

Geotechnical and Contaminated Land Assessments

We have extensive experience of delivering high quality technical reports to meet regulator, warrantor and design engineering requirements.

Ground Investigation

Our highly skilled teams deliver a range of ground investigation services to suit your geotechnical and environmental requirements.

Informal Advice

If you're unsure which of our services you might need to progress your site's development, we are happy to discuss your project on an informal basis. We can highlight key considerations, suggest practical approaches, and provide fully costed estimates or revised estimates if needed.

Laboratory Testing

We deliver an extensive range of geotechnical and contamination laboratory testing directly for clients, and to support our other in-house services.

Materials Management Plans

We can prepare materials management plans to help optimise resources, reduce waste disposal costs, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Mining and Cavity Risk Assessments

Assessing risks from historical mining activities and natural cavities is crucial for site safety. We offer detailed evaluations and risk assessments, including coal mining, chalk mines, iron mining in the Weald, and natural cavities.

Part 2a Investigations and Advice

We have experience of assisting local authorities in assessing sites under Part 2a of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 which forms the basis for the UK contaminated land regulatory regime.

Pre Purchase and Due Diligence and Advice

In addition to carrying out investigations for the purposes of satisfying regulatory conditions, we also carry out works to assess the current contamination status of the site to assist with pre-purchase assessments and due diligence work.

Remediation Strategies and Verification Works

Where contamination is present, we can provide remediation strategies detailing the works necessary to address the risks identified, and can also carry out the necessary inspections and testing to demonstrate the works have been completed successfully and to allow the discharge of planning conditions.

Slope Stability Assessment

In areas of known historical instability and areas prone to landslide, slope stability assessments are often required by Local Authorities and warrantors prior to development to ensure stability of proposed landforms.

Soakage Testing and Groundwater Monitoring

We provide a range of soakage testing and groundwater monitoring options to aid design of sustainable drainage systems.

Waste Classification and WAC Testing

We carry out sampling and laboratory testing for waste soils. We can assess the results to provide the appropriate List of Wastes (LoW) codes and their compliance with Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC).

Water Supply Pipe Risk Assessment

For new supply routes, water supply companies require appropriate assessments to confirm the correct water supply pipe material is used. We can assist you with this by carrying out desk based or intrusive assessments.
