Site Investigations

At Chelmer Global, we provide comprehensive site investigations for developers, engineers, architects, local authorities and private clients across the UK. Our investigations are designed to deliver the accurate ground and environmental data needed to support safe, cost-effective and compliant development projects. Whether you are planning a residential development, commercial construction project, infrastructure scheme or land acquisition, our experienced team can help you understand the conditions beneath the surface.

Site investigations form a critical part of the development process. Understanding ground conditions, geological features, groundwater levels and potential contamination risks at an early stage can help prevent costly delays, unexpected construction issues and unnecessary expenditure. Our team works closely with clients to tailor every investigation to the specific requirements of the site and the proposed development.

We offer a wide range of intrusive and non-intrusive site investigation services, including boreholes, trial pits, dynamic sampling, window sampling, soil testing, groundwater monitoring and laboratory analysis. By combining fieldwork with detailed reporting and interpretation, we provide the information needed to support planning applications, foundation design, environmental assessments and risk management strategies.

Our geotechnical investigations are carried out to establish the engineering properties of soils and rock across a site. This information enables structural engineers and designers to determine suitable foundation solutions and assess potential risks such as settlement, ground instability and variable ground conditions. We work on projects of all sizes, from individual plots through to large commercial and infrastructure developments.

Environmental site investigations are also an important part of our service offering. Where there is a potential risk of contamination, we can undertake soil, groundwater and ground gas assessments to identify environmental constraints and support regulatory compliance. Our reports provide clear recommendations and practical guidance to assist developers, planners and environmental consultants throughout the project lifecycle.

Health and safety is central to every investigation we undertake. Our experienced site teams operate to the highest industry standards, ensuring all work is completed safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to surrounding activities. We understand that project timescales are often critical, which is why we focus on delivering reliable data and comprehensive reporting within agreed deadlines.

At Chelmer Global, we pride ourselves on providing a responsive and professional service backed by extensive industry experience. From initial project discussions through to site works, laboratory testing and final reporting, we offer a complete site investigation solution tailored to your requirements. Our technical expertise, attention to detail and commitment to quality make us a trusted partner for projects across the UK.
