Design Consultants
We work with consultant structural, civil, and geotechnical engineers in supporting their ground investigation activities with a large suite of soil testing services.
Our activities are aided by bespoke software to allow downloading of blank test schedules and rapid assessment. Reports are provided in PDF format, but we can also deliver results in AGS 4.0 format if required.
We are equipped to provide comprehensive geotechnical soil, rock and groundwater testing services which comply with the British standard BS 1377.
