Soil testing before and after demolition
MGS helps plan soil testing before demolition and any follow-up investigation needed afterwards. We consider changes to site access and ground conditions so the information used for design remains relevant to your proposed redevelopment.

When this service helps
For demolition and redevelopment projects, the timing of soil testing depends on site access, the future building footprint and possible ground disturbance. Existing reports can be reviewed to identify any follow-up work.
What you receive
Investigation findings for the relevant demolition or redevelopment stage. Depending on the agreed scope, this includes:
A record of the investigation stage and accessible areas
Findings relevant to the proposed redevelopment
Report updates or further testing recommendations where needed
Your questions, answered
Does demolition automatically invalidate an earlier report?
No. The report’s applicability depends on the original investigation, proposed works and subsequent changes. MGS can review whether additional investigation or an update is needed.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send your site address, earlier soil report, demolition scope and proposed site plan. You can enquire before all plans are available.
When can the work be arranged?
Tell us your preferred timing and any access constraints. We’ll confirm the site visit and reporting timeframes for the agreed work before it begins.
