At Southern Testing we have completed more than 45,000 individual site investigation projects over the last 50 years, across a diverse range of environments enabling us to amass a unique and comprehensive database of ground conditions, and the services that we offer as part of our Pre Planning Investigation service are an integral part of this.
Pre Planning Services
The majority of this data has been scanned and is accessible via a geographically searchable database and therefore easily enables us to provide our clients with valuable advice, undertake desktop research or provide preliminary assessments, highlighting potential geotechnical and environmental issues at an early stage in the project or prior to land acquisition, including a high value, low cost Phase 1 Desk Study which can be used to identify any possible environmental geotechnical or ground engineering issues that may be present early on in the project.
Complete Ground Survey Package
Topographic Surveys, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Risk Assessment Reports, Utility Searches and Site Detection and Mapping of Utilities are essential in advance of any intrusive site investigation works and can all be supplied at the pre-planning stage if required. We have developed a strong working relationship with a number of external specialists enabling us to extend our geotechnical and environmental services and provide our clients with a complete pre planning ground survey package.
BIA Service
In addition to these services we also provide Basement Impact Assessments (BIA) as part of our pre planning investigation services, which is essential for those looking to develop property in areas where space comes at a premium, such as London, where basements are a must.
