capabilities
-
Drilling techniques including reverse circulation, conventional and wireline coring, double or triple tube coring and down-the-hole hammer, using various flushing medium (air, water, mud, mist, etc)
-
Soft ground boring at diameters up to 400mm to depths in the order of 60m
-
Sampling and in situ testing rock and soil in accordance with BS5930 and BS1377
-
Ability to access a wide range of site conditions (confined spaces, remote locations, restricted access, low head room, helicopter lifts, etc.)
-
Investigation of mineral workings including inclined (angled) boreholes with direction measured by electronic means to explore and define steeply dipping strata
-
Borehole installations including piezometers, gas and water monitoring standpipes, inclinometers and extensometers
-
Field testing including permeability (variable and constant head, packer, pumping), infiltration, percolation, vane shear strength, CBR, plate load, redox potential and resistivity.
-
Scoping ground investigations to address the geotechnical, mineral and environmental issues while taking into account the nature of the development proposals
-
Full interpretation of ground conditions from desk top study through to comprehensive interpretative reports on investigations including foundations, buried structures, roads, sewers, tunnels, earthworks, ground-water control, mineral stability, stratigraphical correlation
-
Preparation of risk assessments and reports to satisfy regulatory authorities (including integration of data allowing ground-water profiling and production of 3D conceptual site models highlighting potential sources, pathways and receptors). Design, management and supervision of appropriate remediation schemes
-
On site monitoring, sampling and testing of ground water and gas for a wide range of parameters including pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, electrolytic conductivity, redox potential, TPH, PAH and heavy metals
