Earth Environmental & Geotechnical provides specialist ground investigation, site investigation, and environmental consultancy services across Exeter and the surrounding areas of Devon. Based at our Paris Street office, we support local developers, architects, and planners in navigating the unique geological and regulatory landscape of Exeter from the historic city centre to new development hubs in Pinhoe, Cranbrook, and the Exe Estuary.
Development in Exeter and the surrounding districts requires a nuanced understanding of the local “red ground.” For example, the Exeter Volcanic Series and the Permian breccias and sandstones that underlie much of the city present specific geotechnical considerations for foundation design and drainage.
Beyond the city limits, the surrounding areas, such as the Exe Valley and the coastal fringes, often require specialist Flood Risk Assessments and Slope Stability analyses. Being located within a high-risk Radon region, our Exeter team ensures all site investigations include the necessary detection and protection advice to meet local building regulations. We work closely with Exeter City Council and East Devon District Council to ensure all geo-environmental reports are fully compliant and ready for planning submission.
Key areas of expertise include:
We regularly support projects across Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Taunton, and Barnstaple, where ground conditions and regional planning requirements require specialist local assessment.
Our highly experienced team offers a wide range of ground investigations, geotechnical and environmental services covering Exeter, Torquay, Dartmouth, Weymouth, Plymouth, Falmouth and surrounding areas:
Early ground investigation and environmental assessment can prevent delays, reduce project risk, and support a smoother planning approval process with local authorities across the West Country.
