Ground Control

Ground Control provides nationwide geotechnical drilling, civil engineering and environmental services from its base in Billericay. The business supports organisations that need reliable ground investigation, enabling works and specialist site services across complex environments.

Its drilling and investigation capabilities include foundations, piling, ground stabilisation, exploratory investigations, trial pitting, trenching, rotary and cable percussion drilling, specialist coring, dynamic probing and windowless sampling. The company also supports geotechnical and geo-environmental laboratory testing, foundation and drainage investigation, instrumentation installation and long-term groundwater and gas monitoring.

Alongside drilling, Ground Control delivers wider civils and marine services, including structural investigations, site preparation, dredging, debris removal, riverside works, drainage surveys, sweeping, line marking, liquid waste removal and pothole repairs. Its infrastructure work extends to vegetation management, ecological mitigation, fencing, gully clearance and ongoing maintenance.

The business works with infrastructure operators, construction organisations, utilities, transport bodies, local authorities and other commercial clients across England, Wales and Scotland. Projects are supported by specialist teams and TotalView, a live-from-site reporting system designed to provide visibility over safety, quality and progress.

Ground Control combines technical delivery with a strong environmental focus, including biodiversity enhancement, sustainability initiatives and certified management systems. It is best suited to professional clients seeking coordinated ground, environmental and external maintenance support rather than domestic water-borehole installation.
