Geology and investigation
Engineering geology
Engineering geological investigation establishes ground structure and properties before design or construction. The scope follows the proposed building and the designer’s brief.

Problems it solves
Problems it solves
- Establish soil layers and groundwater conditions at investigation points
- Provide data for foundation, earthworks and site design
- Compile field and laboratory findings in an investigation report
How the work proceeds
How the work proceeds
- 01
Review of the designer's brief and available site information
We establish the location, objective and available documents.
- 02
Setting out investigation points and using a suitable field method
We assess ground conditions, equipment access and the proposed system.
- 03
Soil logging and, where included in the brief, laboratory testing
We define scope, sequence and the factors that shape cost.
- 04
Preparation of ground profiles, results and conclusions
We carry out the agreed work and test the system.
What shapes the cost
- Number and depth of investigation points and selected methods
- Structure type, loads and level of detail in the brief
- Access to test locations and buried-utility constraints
- Extent of laboratory testing and additional measurements
A proposal follows a review of site data. Send the address and a short brief on WhatsApp.
What we need from you
- Site plan showing the proposed structure
- Designer's investigation brief, if already available
- Available buried-utility records and previous site reports
Send the location and a short brief. We will respond with the information needed for the next step.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. Building position and form, expected loads, ground variability and the designer's data needs also affect the scope.
It supplies information about soil and groundwater. A structural designer uses that information together with building loads to design the foundations.
