Utilities & Water

Supporting water and utilities projects across the UK, helping move schemes forward across a wide range of sites.
Ground Projects delivers specialist geotechnical and geo-environmental support to utilities and water infrastructure projects across the UK.

We support buried infrastructure, utility corridors, reservoirs, dams, embankments, and wastewater assets — helping clients manage ground risk while maintaining operational resilience and regulatory compliance.

As the UK water industry moves into AMP8, we are actively supporting investment programmes focused on asset resilience, safety, and environmental performance. Our experience includes providing geotechnical support to maintenance, renewal, and improvement schemes, where geotechnical performance is fundamental to public safety and long-term infrastructure stability.

We work closely with asset owners, designers, and contractors to inform decision-making, helping clients manage ground risk and deliver works efficiently within programme and regulatory frameworks.
