Geol-Consultants Limited

Geol-Consultants Limited provides geotechnical, geological and environmental consultancy for development and construction projects across the UK and Ireland. Its work focuses on identifying ground-related risks early, helping clients make informed decisions about site safety, foundations, remediation and regulatory requirements.

The company undertakes Phase I preliminary contamination risk assessments and Phase II ground investigations, including trial pitting, window and windowless sampling boreholes, shell and auger or cable-percussive boreholes, and rotary drilling with open-hole, coring and inclined-drilling capability. It also prepares coal mining risk assessments, investigates former mine entries and workings, and supports mine-entry stabilisation and grouting works.

Further services include hazardous ground gas risk assessments, monitoring-well installation and monitoring, remediation strategy reports, validation works, foundation design support, and assessments relating to soil and groundwater contamination. The team works with its own drilling equipment and specialist investigation teams, maintaining direct control over much of the fieldwork and reporting process.

Its stated client sectors include construction, land development and engineering, with project experience also covering residential, telecommunications and commercial development. The approach is independent and practical, combining technical investigation with advice on suitable protective, mitigating and remedial measures.

For clients planning development on potentially complex or previously used land, the service offers a joined-up route from initial desk study and site investigation through to risk assessment, remediation and validation.
