Site Investigations

At Chelmer Global Ltd we carry out comprehensive site investigations that provide the essential information needed to design, plan and deliver safe and compliant construction projects. A detailed understanding of the ground is vital for any form of development and our team offers a complete investigation service that identifies soil conditions, ground risks, contamination, groundwater behaviour and any structural challenges present on the site. Our work supports everything from small residential projects to large commercial and public sector developments.

We begin each investigation by reviewing the requirements of the project and assessing the purpose of the proposed works. This allows us to determine the most suitable investigation strategy and select the right techniques for gathering accurate and meaningful data. Our services include trial pits, boreholes, dynamic probing, soil sampling, groundwater monitoring and a wide range of associated field tests. All work is carried out by experienced engineers and technicians who understand both the practical and technical aspects of site investigation.

The information we gather is analysed in our own laboratory, where soil samples are tested for strength, composition, moisture content and any potential contaminants. Having direct control over the testing process allows us to maintain consistency, improve turnaround times and provide clients with reliable results without unnecessary delays. This streamlined approach ensures that key decisions about foundations, ground improvement, earthworks and drainage can be made with confidence.

Our investigation reports are clear, precise and designed to meet the needs of planners, designers, insurers and regulatory bodies. We provide factual and interpretive reporting, depending on what the project requires. This may include foundation recommendations, bearing capacity assessments, contamination risk assessments, groundwater behaviour summaries and advice on suitable construction methods. Where issues are identified, we provide practical guidance on mitigation, remediation or further investigation.

We work closely with structural engineers, architects, developers, local authorities and homeowners who need dependable ground data. Every site is different and our goal is always to provide a tailored solution that addresses the specific risks and constraints of the location. Our team is committed to high standards of accuracy and ensures that all investigations are conducted to recognised industry guidelines.

Whether you are planning a new development, addressing a subsidence issue, progressing through planning or needing clarity on soil conditions, our site investigation service delivers the information required for safe and successful construction. With a skilled team, in-house testing and a comprehensive approach, we provide a complete and reliable solution from start to finish.
