On Land

Over Water
From Design data to Quality Assurance, Soil Engineering undertake a wide scope of geotechnical testing, supporting investigative or construction work on any geotechnical scheme.
We offer a market-leading in-house capability for geotechnical testing, both in the lab, and in-situ. We supplement this with proven and trusted geochemical testing subcontractors . As a result we are able to supply timely data in digital formats (both AGS4 and PDF), for all projects. Our samples and testing processes are managed through rigorous and robust management systems. Therefore, we provide accurate turnaround, and the level of flexibility and interaction that your project requires to achieve practical economic results.
What kind of testing do we offer?
Our geotechnical laboratory offers an extensive range of test types. Both soil testing and rock testing are covered by our UKAS audit scope, which provides assurance that we meet recognised standards in our delivery (BS EN ISO 17025:2017). Our rock testing laboratory operates to ISRM suggested methods. The rock lab is equipped with portable equipment which allows some on-site testing and off-site analysis. Meanwhile, the soil lab operates to BS1377 or BS EN ISO 17892 depending upon the type of test being completed.

The availability of reliable and appropriate geotechnical test data is critical to the delivery of any geotechnical project.
Our Data Management Team provide quality checks at all stages in the testing and reporting process. They will ensure that your project receives error-free data at the first time of asking. Soil testing, or Rock testing, Aggregate or Contaminated land, our testing team have your needs covered.
Head into our Laboratory for off-site testing, or visit our Specialist Geoservices section to discover what we can offer on-site. Don’t forget that we can also offer a sample collection service if you require it, and that we can complement our Geotechnical testing with a wide range of Geochemical testing options too.
Geotechnical Testing Support
Our experienced team are not only in place to undertake your testing, they’re there to support you throughout the journey. That may be in supporting your first foray into digital test scheduling. It could be ensuring your test parameters will generate realistic data for your ground model. They will lead you through the process to make sure your valuable samples yield the maximum data. While the process can seem complicated, we’re always happy to show you round the lab. We’re very proud of our team and how they operate, and we want to make sure you’re comfortable entrusting our samples to us. For any support, guidance or to arrange a quote or visit, click here.
