Choose Our Tailored Site Investigations
We offer customised investigations for every project, starting with preparing detailed quotations. This involves verifying the geology of each location using geological data maps to select the most suitable and cost-effective equipment. We also assess site geography through Google Maps to ensure smooth access and parking before our arrival. These thorough assessments enable us to accurately provide quotes that meet our clients' needs. Our trial pitting, hand auguering, and minor specialist machine drilling are performed by experienced staff who are not just drillers but engineers, understanding the materials and performing correct in-situ testing and soil sampling. With extensive experience in domestic settings, our team respects property and ensures sites are left as they were found.

Specialised Equipment And Services
Equipped with limited access machinery, we can reach areas where larger equipment cannot, often passing through existing doors or gateways. This allows us to perform both internal and external investigations efficiently. We occasionally contract shell and auger drilling machines for projects requiring deep boreholes or challenging ground conditions. Our trusted drilling partner, with whom we have collaborated for years, adheres to our stringent standards. We monitor all drilling activities, ensuring that samples and logs are thoroughly examined before preparing our reports, guaranteeing our findings' highest quality and accuracy.
