Ground Characterisation and Geotechnical Risk Study
Ground Projects has extensive experience delivering desk-based geotechnical and geo-environmental assessments for developments across the UK. By understanding ground conditions at an early stage, we help identify potential geotechnical risks and constraints, allowing project teams to manage uncertainty, avoid unexpected ground issues and reduce project risk.
From Phase 1 Desk Studies and Preliminary Risk Assessments (PRAs) through to Environmental Impact Assessment input, our team works in line with current UK guidance to compile and review available site information, identifying potential geotechnical and contamination risks.
Our geotechnical design services include:
Geotechnical Interpretative Reports
Ground Projects prepares clear, robust geotechnical interpretative reports that assess ground conditions, evaluate geotechnical risk, and provide our clients with clear recommendations and solutions to support design and construction.
Our reports present a structured interpretation of site investigation data and ground behaviour, enabling informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
We deliver proportionate, well-structured reports that support confident decision-making for planners, designers, and contractors, helping projects progress safely and efficiently.
Geotechnical Design
Ground Projects supports developers, planners, architects, engineers, and contractors involved in major construction and infrastructure projects by providing safe, practical and cost-effective geotechnical design solutions.
We have extensive experience delivering geotechnical design across a wide range of schemes, from residential and commercial developments to large-scale industrial, logistics, and infrastructure projects.
Working closely with the wider project team, we provide proportionate, coordinated geotechnical design that supports planning, detailed design, and construction-phase delivery.
Our geotechnical design services include:
Earthworks Design and Construction Supervision
At Ground Projects, our team are highly experienced in providing geotechnical support to major earthworks projects across the UK, working directly with principal contractors, developers, and specialist earthworks contractors on complex earthworks schemes.
We are frequently appointed to provide independent geotechnical and geo-environmental advice on earthworks schemes. Our services include the design and review of earthworks specifications, review of construction methodology and on-site geotechnical validation.
We provide supervision, monitoring, and verification of earthworks construction, supported by quality assurance and compliance oversight, to ensure works are delivered in line with design and project requirements.
Our Earthworks services include:
