With over forty years experience of providing geotechnical consultancy services to the construction industry, mainly within the UK, but also overseas, Southern Testing has established a reputation for analysising the problem and delivering solutions and design reports of unrivalled quality and clarity.
We have developed our own specialist in-house software programmes to assist our teams of multi-disciplined professional engineers and scientists to provide timely and cost- effective solutions to complex geotechnical problems. Such an approach means that we can assure clients that, where required, both geotechnical and environmental issues will be professionally assessed. This is particularly important in the current climate of environmental pressure from government and financers, where critical geotechnical issues can be overlooked in favour of potentially less significant environmental concerns.
