Geotechnical Investigation

You may have need for geotechnical ground data, by using traditional sampling methods, such as trial pitting, shell and auger drilling in softer soils, and rotary / pedant systems in hard soils / rock, Southwest Environmental can provide the data that you need.

Reporting can be factual, or interpretative, depending on you requirements.
Samples can be taken from site in a number of ways including Trial Pits (machine or hand-dug), or by percussion sampling methods.


Whilst the equipment is on site, it is wise to take further samples for environmental testing, this can be arranged by Southwest Environmental. (Heavy Metals, PCBs etc), the samples can be stored and used at a later date when / if required.		 geotechnical site investigation - drilling rig
