Environmental Monitoring & Consulting Services in the UK

Expert Environmental & Geotechnical Monitoring by Earth Environmental & Geotechnical 

We provide specialist environmental monitoring services and geotechnical testing solutions across the UK, working with developers, consultants, local authorities, and contractors.  

Comprehensive Environmental Monitoring Services

Monitoring of environmental criteria is often a regulatory requirement for new developments, remediation projects, and infrastructure works. It is needed to assess the potential impacts of: 

  • Contaminated soils and groundwater 
  • Ground gases and volatile organic compounds (SVOC’s, VOCs) 
  • Leachate on a proposed development (including infrastructure, construction workers and end users) 
  • Nearby land use and the wider environment 

Our specialist team provide ongoing monitoring before, during, and after the development to ensure sites meet environmental regulations and planning conditions. 

Soil and Groundwater Monitoring Consultants 

Our team has strong expertise in soil and groundwater sampling, offering complete support for environmental assessments and compliance. Installation of ground gas groundwater monitoring points are completed by our in-house drilling services. Equipment and methodologies are constructed and comply with best-practice guidance from the Environment Agency and United States Environmental Protection Agency. 

At Earth Environmental & Geotechnical, we regularly conduct:

  • Groundwater level monitoring 
  • Soil contamination testing 
  • Ground gas monitoring (e.g. methane, CO₂, VOCs) 
  • In-situ leachate and soil gas sampling 
  • Long-term data collection for remediation strategies 

Advanced Monitoring Equipment and Methods 

We use a wide range of calibrated, high-accuracy equipment to collect environmental and geotechnical data, which is then analysed and interpreted by experienced teams. 

Equipment that we regularly use for Environmental Monitoring includes the following: 

  • Gas Flux Boxes for measurement of gas flux per unit area. 
  • Infra-Red Gas Analyser for bulk ground gases (methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen) and flow rate 
  • Photo-Ionisation Detector for Volatile Organic Compounds, e.g. benzene, trichloroethylene 
  • In-situ Gas Clams for continuous monitoring of ground gas concentrations, borehole pressure, temperature, water level, relative pressure and derivation of gas flux after purging. 
  • Electronic dipmeter for water level measurement 
  • Vibration meters for measurement of ground acceleration e.g. during piling or compaction operations. 
  • Dust and asbestos samplers 
  • Geotechnical Monitoring & Testing
