When this service helps
Arrange a geotechnical inspection while the nominated excavation or slab base is exposed, before it is covered. This allows the relevant ground conditions to be observed and any further actions identified.
What you receive
Inspection findings for the nominated locations and agreed geotechnical checks. Depending on the agreed scope, this includes:
Locations inspected and observed founding conditions
Relevant comparisons with geotechnical recommendations
Further actions required within the inspection scope
Your questions, answered
Does this include reinforcement inspection?
A geotechnical founding inspection and a structural reinforcement inspection have different scopes. Tell us what is required so the appropriate practitioner and inspection can be arranged.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send your site address, proposed works, available plans or reports, access details and preferred timing. You can enquire before all plans are available.
When can the work be arranged?
