Geotechnical Site
Investigation

Soil Environment Services

Soil Environment Services undertake geotechnical site investigations and soil surveys to meet NHBC soil survey requirements, foundation design or for other site development or planning purposes.

All our geotechnical work is undertaken to high professional standards and complies with BS5930 and BS1377. 

We typically undertake geotechnical investigations for small residential developments at depths to 5m.

Our geotechnical capability includes:

• Trial pits and or boreholes for log of soil conditions and sampling.  Hand held augers are used for small sites.

geotechnical site investigation

• In-situ testing:

    • In-situ soil shear strength using the GEOVANE shear vane
    • Dynamic probing to determine the N Value using the GEOTOOL ldp
    • Bearing capacity using the ELE proving ring penetrometer
geotechnics vane

• Soil sampling for determination of:

    • Particle size distribution
    • Clay content analysis and plastic index
    • Shear strength
    • Dry bilk density
    • Sulphates
soil sampling

• Factual report with logs to BS5930

soil survey

We can organise deeper investigations with foundation design reports should these be required. 

Soil Environment Services undertake this work across the UK.
