Services
Materials Testing
Our materials testing services assess soil, aggregates, concrete, and bituminous materials to BS EN, ISO, and ASTM standards. We provide on-site sampling and laboratory analysis to ensure compliance with safety and quality regulations. These tests mitigate risks in infrastructure projects while reducing timelines and costs through rapid turnaround.
Structural Investigation
Specialist teams conduct intrusive and non-intrusive surveys for bridges, highways, and buildings. We use coring, crack monitoring, and load-bearing assessments to evaluate structural integrity. Our findings support refurbishment projects and compliance with UK infrastructure safety standards.
Calibration Services
We calibrate dimensional, electrical, and mechanical instruments in UKAS-accredited labs or on-site. Services cover pressure, temperature, and torque equipment across industries. Digital certificates via our secure portal ensure traceability and compliance with ISO 17025 requirements.
Site Investigation
Our site investigation includes trial pits, boreholes, and in-situ testing to assess ground conditions. We produce factual reports on soil composition and contamination risks, adhering to BS 5930 and BS 10175 standards for pre-development planning.
Subsidence Investigation
Specialist subsidence teams identify causes through soil analysis, crack monitoring, and drainage surveys. We provide detailed reports for insurance claims and remediation strategies, ensuring compliance with structural safety regulations.
