We provide a wide array of services to local authorities to assist them in their programme of land divestiture, in the investigation and assessment of land in accordance with the Contaminated Land Regulations, or management of assets, highways and infrastructure.
Our staff have previously worked for local authorities and are therefore familiar with related legislation, planning controls, and external funding mechanisms.
We provide an extensive range of services to local authorities and with 7 regional offices we can support nationwide geotechnical and environmental advice and investigations. We have assisted Local Authorities throughout the UK in their programme of land divestiture, in the investigation and assessment of land in accordance with the Contaminated Land Regulations, or management of assets, highways and infrastructure.
Typical services we provide to local authorities include:
Earth Environmental & Geotechnical Ltd. provides a comprehensive range of geotechnical and environmental consultancy services to Local Authorities. Please contact us now to discuss your requirements.

We are a geotechnical and environmental consultancy of experienced Engineers, Geologists, Applied Environmental Engineers, and Environmental Scientists. Our long-term aim is to provide a national service delivered by local offices, run by technically proficient staff with strong business acumen.
Trial Pits are used for sub-surface site investigations and examination of the soil, rocks and groundwater. Trial pits ideally proceed construction works to determine the geology and the water table of that specific site and are typically between 1 and 4 metres deep.
Rotary drilling is used to collect soil and rock strata samples, or to form deep observation boreholes. Rotary drilling is used for very dense soils and rock to investigate and analyse the sub-surface ground conditions up to a depth of 100m.
Cable percussion boreholes can be used to investigate the soil profile to a depth of up to 50m. Different cutting head heads are used for different soil types. Chisel for rock and hard layers, a shell for granular soils and a clay cutter for softer cohesive soils.
Window Sampling is used on soft ground and cohesive strata to extract soil, clay or sand samples for geotechnical or chemical analysis. Window sampling is a great technique to recover undisturbed samples for geotechnical and environmental analysis.
