Frequently Asked Questions

     
What does the Company do?

We dig holes and fill them in again.

 
Isn’t that a bit pointless?
Well it might seem so, but drilling allows us to inspect and test the ground.  
Why would you want to do that?
Knowing what is under a site is vital. Is it strong enough for building on? Is it free from contamination? Are there mining problems or underground gases?  
Who do you normally work for?
Anyone, from an individual householder with a subsidence problem through Architects and Consulting Engineers, to major multi-national Companies.  
Do you check out Brownfield sites?
Investigation of contaminated land and landfill gas forms a large part of our work from a desk study through to comprehensive investigations, laboratory testing and risk assessments.  
What about any interesting projects?

See our Projects list here.
One project was to check out a former explosives factory, which was to be developed as a caravan site. A specialist who had just returned from Kosovo assisted us.
The job was carried out successfully; in fact it went down a bomb!
