Energy

From early feasibility through to construction, we provide the expertise needed to support energy projects and infrastructure.

Ground Projects provides specialist geotechnical and geo-environmental support to the energy sector across the UK, where ground conditions are critical to safety, performance, and long-term asset resilience.

We have experience across a broad range of energy technologies, including solar farms, wind energy developments, energy-from-waste (EFW) facilities, battery storage, CCS and nuclear, supporting projects from early feasibility through to construction.

Each sector and project presents distinct ground-related challenges. Our role is to understand these risks early and develop clear, proportionate solutions that support informed decision-making and successful delivery for our clients.
