Geoinvestigate

Geoinvestigate provides specialist geological, geotechnical and geo-environmental services for projects where ground conditions, contamination or underground hazards need careful investigation. Its work covers site investigation from early appraisal through to fieldwork, reporting, remediation design, validation and expert support.

The company undertakes desk studies, walkover and reconnaissance surveys, intrusive ground investigations, trial pits, trenching, borehole drilling, sampling, permeability testing, CBR and plate-bearing tests, groundwater and gas monitoring, and laboratory analysis. Its technical work also includes foundation design, slope stability, subsidence, contaminated land, radon, landfill gas, mine gas and Coal Mining Risk Assessments.

Borehole and drilling capability includes restricted-access hand-held and tracked rigs, window and windowless sampling, cable percussion, shell and auger, rotary drilling, core recovery, Microdrilling and borehole instrumentation. Geoinvestigate also provides soakaway, infiltration and percolation testing, aerial drone surveys, topographic and terrain analysis, and ground-penetrating radar surveys.

The team works with homeowners, house buyers, self-builders, developers, architects, engineers, councils, estate agents and commercial clients, supporting projects ranging from house extensions to larger housing, retail, infrastructure and energy developments. Its practical approach is intended to reduce ground risk, avoid planning delays and provide clear, usable technical reporting.

A free mine-shaft and sinkhole helpline offers advice to members of the public, while the wider service combines consultancy, field investigation and reporting through regional offices serving projects across the UK.
