Company Aims & Quality Statement

Geoinvestigate will tackle any size project with the same dedication, expertise and care ensuring the highest quality of service and competitive pricing. From our offices in the North East, North West, Midlands and Southern England we offer fast, competitive, quality nationwide site investigation services. Our work is carried out in general accordance with appropriate industry regulations, design codes, guidance and recommended best practice including:

Geoinvestigate is continually reviewing, up-dating and improving the quality of its systems and practices ensuring that the client receives the best quality service and end product currently available. As part of our service, we aim to keep all the interested parties in the information loop. We regularly talk to the Environment Agency, UK Coal Authority, Local Authority Planning and Environmental Health departments to facilitate better communication and understanding between the client, us, and the statutory regulators. In this way we ensure that the safest most practical and cost-effective solution for the project is implemented and the risks of unnecessary disputes, project delays and cost overruns are avoided.

At Geoinvestigate we strongly believe in a practical “ground up” approach. We are definitely not “armchair consultants” and positively enjoy getting our hands dirty on site – as first-hand knowledge makes for better decisions and solutions as well as saving the client money. For similar reason Geoinvestigate has over the years developed its own in-house drilling, probing, testing and site monitoring capabilities. Notable firsts in the UK site investigation sector was the introduction many years ago by Geoinvestigate of window sampling and multi-functional mini-rig technology, followed more recently by Microdrilling ® and in 2019 the UK’s first FREE Sinkhole & Mine Shaft Helpline to assist the public dealing with both increasing hazards.      

Geoinvestigate takes its professional responsibilities seriously and our services and advice are underwritten by professional indemnity (PI) insurance safeguarding the interests of our clients and providing peace of mind. Our current PI cover is 2 Million.

So, whether it’s a new basement in London, building alterations in Cardiff, a retail development in Leeds or Manchester or a pipeline in Edinburgh, Geoinvestigate can provide the geo-information your company needs.
