Phase 2: Geotechnical Investigation
You may have need for geotechnical ground data, by
using traditional sampling methods, such as trial pitting, shell and
auger drilling in softer soils, and rotary / pedant systems in hard
soils / rock, Southwest Environmental can provide the data that you
need.
Reporting can be factual, or interpretative, depending on you
requirements.
Samples can be taken from site in a
number of ways including Trial Pits (machine or hand-dug), or by
percussion sampling methods. For retrieval of geotechnical
samples, or installation of monitoring wells more advanced equipment may be needed.
Whilst the equipment is on site, it is wise to take further
samples for environmental testing, this can be arranged by
Southwest Environmental. (Heavy Metals, PHBs etc), the samples
can be stored and used at a later date when / if required. |
