Industrial Geotechnical and Environmental Services

1. Geotechnical Site Investigations
   Our comprehensive site investigations gather critical data on subsurface conditions, providing valuable insights for foundation design, earthworks, and construction planning. We ensure that your industrial site is properly assessed, minimising risks and supporting safe, stable development.
2. Foundation Assessments
   We provide detailed foundation assessments to determine the load-bearing capacity of soil and rock beneath your industrial site. Our recommendations help guide foundation design, ensuring that your structures are built on stable ground and capable of withstanding the rigours of industrial use.
3. Pavement Investigation and Design
   Industrial pavements, such as loading docks, roadways, and heavy-traffic areas, require robust design to handle large loads and frequent use. We offer pavement investigation and design services, including thickness design, material selection, and drainage solutions, ensuring long-lasting performance.
4. Subgrade Assessment by Plate Load Test
   Our subgrade assessments, including Plate Load Testing, evaluate the strength and stability of the soil beneath your industrial site. This information is crucial for designing foundations, pavements, and earthworks that can handle the demands of heavy industrial activity.
5. Soft Soil Engineering and Ground Improvement Design
   For sites with soft or weak soils, we provide soft soil engineering and ground improvement design services. Our solutions include methods such as ground compaction, soil stabilisation, and geosynthetic reinforcement to improve the soil’s bearing capacity and stability.
6. Slope Stability Analysis
   For industrial sites located on uneven or sloping terrain, our slope stability analysis services identify risks of landslides or soil erosion. We provide practical recommendations for stabilising slopes and preventing damage to infrastructure and equipment.
7. Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis
   Our soil-structure interaction analysis ensures that your industrial structures are designed to withstand soil movement, settling, or other geotechnical challenges. This analysis is especially important for large or heavy industrial buildings and equipment foundations.
8. Acid Sulfate Soil Assessment
   In areas prone to acid sulfate soils, we perform Acid Sulfate Soil Assessments to identify and manage environmental risks. Early detection and proper management of acid sulfate soils are essential for protecting infrastructure and the environment during industrial development.
9. Working Platform Assessments
   We offer Working Platform Assessments in line with BRE 470 standards, ensuring that platforms for heavy machinery and equipment are stable and safe for use. This service is critical for minimising risks during construction and industrial operations.
10. Environmental Services
    Our environmental consulting services help industrial projects comply with environmental regulations, minimising impacts on air, water, and soil. We conduct waste classification, and contamination testing to ensure that your project meets all environmental requirements.

At Hunter Geotechnical Services, we combine decades of experience with cutting-edge geotechnical and environmental expertise to meet the challenges of industrial developments. We are committed to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions that support your project’s success, from initial site investigations to foundation design, soil testing, and environmental assessments. Our services are designed to help you comply with regulations, protect the environment, and ensure long-term stability and safety for your industrial operations.
