27. Trial Pitting, Boreholes, and Soil Testing UK

Understanding ground conditions is vital to any successful construction project. At Castledine Environmental, we provide reliable geotechnical investigations and reporting for developers, engineers, and planners across the UK.

Our investigations help determine the suitability of ground for construction, identify risks like ground movement or weak soils, and inform foundation and drainage design. We conduct both desk-based assessments and intrusive testing, such as:

Trial pits and boreholes

CBR and plate bearing tests

Soakaway and infiltration testing

Groundwater monitoring

Our geotechnical reports include comprehensive soil descriptions, test data, and recommendations for foundation types, floor slabs, and ground improvement methods. All findings are clearly presented, ensuring they are accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

We work closely with clients to meet tight deadlines and planning submission dates, offering a responsive and cost-effective service. Whether you're dealing with clay shrinkage, made ground, or slope stability issues, our team will guide you through the investigation process with confidence.
