Geotechnical, Environmental & Ground Investigation Services – South East

Earth Environmental & Geotechnical provides ground investigation, site investigation and environmental consultancy services across the South East of England, supporting planning, development and risk management.

With local offices in Maidstone and Norwich, we work across Kent, Norfolk, Sussex, Surrey and the wider South East, delivering accurate ground data, geotechnical analysis and environmental reporting to support residential, commercial, infrastructure and renewable energy projects.

Whether you require a site investigation in Norwich, a ground investigation in Kent, or environmental consultancy anywhere across the South East, our team provides practical, cost-effective solutions backed by strong regional knowledge.

South East Geotechnical & Environmental Expertise 

This region presents a wide range of ground, geological and environmental challenges, from the varied soils and coastal conditions of Norfolk to chalk geology, former mining areas, radon risk and development pressure across Kent and the South East. 

The Norfolk Coast, for example, includes highly variable ground conditions, from chalk downs and heathland to dunes, mud flats and glacial deposits. In Kent and Sussex, challenges include chalk, clay bands, former coal mining legacy, coastal erosion, flooding and areas of elevated radon potential. 

Our team provides a full range of geotechnical and geo-environmental services across the South East, including: 

  • Ground investigations and site investigations across Kent, Norfolk and the South East  
  • Phase 1 Desk Studies and Phase 2 Site Investigations  
  • Environmental and contaminated land assessments, including remediation strategies  
  • Radon monitoring and risk assessment  
  • Geotechnical testing, subsidence assessment and ground stability reporting  
  • Ecological support where required for planning and development  

We regularly support projects across Maidstone, Canterbury, Dover, Sevenoaks, Folkestone, Norwich, Cromer, Great Yarmouth and wider South East locations, where local conditions require detailed assessment and clear reporting. 

Ground Investigation, Site Investigation & Environmental Consultancy in the South East

Our South East team supports clients with site investigations, risk assessments and technical reporting that help reduce uncertainty early in the project lifecycle. This includes work for developers, landowners, planners, engineers, public sector organisations and infrastructure clients.
