Sinkhole and Solution Feature Investigations for Ground Stability Assessment

We offer specialist investigation services for sinkholes and solution features, supporting safe development and risk management in areas underlain by soluble rocks such as chalk. Our work helps identify subsurface voids, and assesses ground stability, to inform appropriate remediation or foundation solutions. 

Using a combination of desk-based geological assessment, intrusive ground investigation (boreholes, trial pits), geophysical surveys, and in-situ testing, we develop a clear understanding of the ground conditions and potential causes or risk of subsidence or collapse.

Phillip is top marks for a site survey.  Phillip is, in my experience, responsive, friendly and really professional and the colleagues who came to site were also very professional and a pleasure to have around. Who knew site surveys could be such a pleasure!

Farida Hatimi, Customer

Value for money and sound advice. We had used larger geotechnical consultants in the past but having asked Philip Price to quote we thought we would give him a chance and were very glad we did. Philip's quote was very reasonable and he stuck to the promised time scales. The service he provides is of a high professional standard given in a cheerful and friendly way and we would highly recommend him.
