DESK STUDY
A Phase 1 Desk Study, or Preliminary Risk Assessment, should form the first phase of any good site investigation. The purpose of a Desk Study is to evaluate the ground conditions of a site based on existing information and to plan the scope of the subsequent Phase 2 Site Investigation.

SITE INVESTIGATION
Understanding the behaviour of the underlying ground is an integral part of any site investigation. It is important that the right combination of drilling, insitu testing, sampling, logging, laboratory testing and analysis are applied within the Phase 2 Intrusive Site Investigation.

GEOTECHNICAL TESTING
Solmek provide an extensive range of solutions to geotechnical problems.

CASE STUDIES
Assessing the risks from contaminated land and providing solutions for remediation.
“We have used Solmek for a number of years to carry out site investigations on a great number of sites and would have no hesitation recommending them to any Clients for this type of work. Solmek have always been reliable, trust worthy and pro-active dealing with issues as they arise on site in a truly professional manner.“
