Ground investigation services for pre-construction projects
Before starting any construction work, it is crucial to understand the ground conditions beneath the surface. At Ecliptic Track & Civils Ltd, we provide expert ground investigation pre-construction services, including detailed ground investigation surveys, to assess soil composition, stability, and potential risks to ensure safety and success.
A ground investigation survey assesses the physical properties and conditions of the subsurface, providing essential data for making informed decisions about construction and development. The survey can uncover information such as soil composition, groundwater levels, rock types, and the presence of underground structures or utilities. To book in a survey, get in touch with our team in North London today.
Key objectives of a ground investigation survey:
-
Identifying soil stability and suitability for construction
-
Detecting potential risks, such as landslides, contamination, or sinkholes
-
Mapping underground utilities using subsurface utility mapping techniques
-
Collecting critical data for the design and planning of infrastructure projects


How we conduct ground investigation surveys
1. Site Evaluation: we begin by assessing the project site to understand the scope and objectives of the investigation.
2. Data Collection: using drilling, geotechnical testing, and subsurface utility mapping, we collect samples to evaluate the ground conditions.
3. Data Analysis: our experts analyse the collected data to identify key features, potential risks, and areas of concern.
4. Reporting: we provide a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations, helping you move forward confidently with your project.
Applications of ground investigation surveys
-
Site Assessments: evaluate the suitability of land for construction projects and identify potential ground-related challenges.
-
Environmental Risk Assessment: identify contamination, groundwater conditions, or other environmental risks that might impact the construction process.
-
Subsurface Utility Mapping: locate and assess underground utilities to prevent damage during excavation and construction activities.
-
Geotechnical Planning: provide the necessary data to support the design and foundation planning of buildings, roads, and infrastructure.
