Ground Investigation

Data relating to ground conditions, previous site usage and stability of the land to be developed can be provided by CET SAFEHOUSE anywhere in the UK. This information is key to the decision making process in property design and development.

Typically used by structural engineers, property developers, civil engineers, house builders and Local Authorities we provide data to aid land development, foundation design, contaminated land analysis, soil quality and mineral extract.

To achieve this we conduct numerous investigations and tests to produce a professional and concise report to determine the viability and stability of the structure:-

• Desktop studies
• Environmental studies
• Geotechnical reports
• Boreholes (SPT / CPT – shell and auger)
• Dynamic probing
• Window sampling
• Gas monitoring (Piezometer and standpipe installation)
• Percolation tests
• Soil classification testing
• Chemical analysis

From our strategically located operational centres, supported by our UKAS accredited laboratories we can provide these vital investigations across the United Kingdom.
