Geotechnical Engineering and Site Investigation
ESP has long established expertise in the successful design and implementation of ground investigation works for a wide range of developments.
This includes sites with elevated level of contaminants, difficult access and complex ground conditions. The investigation techniques used are
tailored to the site and development specific requirements.
Our expertise includes:
- Desk based studies and comprehensive literature research.
- Trial pit excavations and trenches.
- Percussion borehole and rotary drillhole exploration methods.
- Geophysical exploration.
- Groundwater and surface water monitoring.
- We have dealt with schemes of all sizes from the largest Open Cast Sites in Europe to individual house foundations, in many different environmental contexts – from mountain roads in Oman to the Cardiff Bay Barrage.
