Geoenvironmental Consultants Ltd
Specialist Geotechnical and Geological Services
Although a Phase II site investigation may include a significant geotechnical component, for example recommendations for foundations in a residential or commercial development, the Phase II works may confirm a need for specific works to address a particular geotechnical problem. Alternatively, clients often approach G&J having already identified a potential problem that needs investigating and addressing.
G&J offers a range of geotechnical and geological services both as part of a general Phase II site investigation, or standalone assessments to address a client's specific needs.
Examples of these services are:
​
-
Intrusive investigation of soils and rocks underlying a site with logging carried out to BS5930:2015, and appropriate samples taken for the required testing. Factual and/or interpretative reports are completed as required. Where appropriate G&J's experienced geologists can create cross-sections through, or 3D models of, the site area based on the investigation information;
-
Slope Stability Assessments and Remediation Design;
-
