At Civil Connect PLC, we are renowned for our expertise below the ground. We are now proud to extend this specialism to the very start of your project’s lifecycle with our comprehensive Geoenvironmental Consulting services.
By integrating expert site assessment with our industry-leading subsurface infrastructure solutions, we provide an unparalleled end-to-end service.
From initial risk assessment to final verification, we deliver the certainty and data you need to build with confidence.
We identify and manage ground-related risks to unlock your site’s true potential and ensure a smooth path to regulatory compliance. Our services form the foundation of successful, safe, and sustainable development.
1. Phase 1 Desk Studies & Preliminary Risk Assessment Before breaking ground, we conduct thorough desktop research into your site’s history, geology, and environmental setting. This crucial first step identifies potential liabilities and informs the scope of any required physical investigation, saving you time and money.
2. Phase 2 Intrusive Site Investigations Our team of chartered geologists and environmental scientists design and manage targeted physical investigations. We utilise advanced soil and groundwater sampling techniques to accurately characterise the ground conditions and quantify any contamination.
3. Ground Risk Assessment & Mitigation Design We provide detailed quantitative risk assessments (DQRAs) for all potential hazards, ensuring your development is safe for end-users and the environment.
Contaminated Land: Assessing risks to human health and controlled waters (groundwater and rivers) from soil and water contamination.
Ground Gas & Vapour: Specialising in the assessment and mitigation design for hazardous gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, radon, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
4. Remediation Strategies & Verification Where contamination presents an unacceptable risk, we don’t just identify the problem—we design the solution. We develop practical, cost-effective remediation strategies that are seamlessly executed by our own civil engineering teams. Afterwards, our consulting division provides the independent verification reports required to discharge planning conditions.

Choosing Civil Connect for your geoenvironmental needs means more than just a technical report. It means creating efficiency and eliminating risk across your entire project.
One Team, End-to-End: Why manage a separate consultant and contractor? Our integrated team works in unison from initial site assessment through to drainage installation and final verification. This single point of contact simplifies communication and ensures total accountability.
From Insight to Action: Our geoenvironmental findings directly inform the work of our subsurface infrastructure divisions. An identified groundwater contamination issue immediately becomes a design-and-build project for our advanced drainage team. This synergy turns problems into deliverable solutions, faster.
Reduced Project Risk: With our experts involved from day one, we eliminate the risk of unexpected ground conditions causing costly delays during construction. Our tenders are more accurate, and our project timelines are more reliable.
Commercial Awareness: As a leading infrastructure PLC, we understand the commercial realities of development. Our recommendations are not just technically sound; they are commercially viable, sustainable, and designed to maximise the value of your asset.
Mitigate Subsurface Risks: Our investigations identify and quantify risks such as unstable soil, high groundwater levels, or potential subsidence, allowing you to address them before they become costly construction problems.
Optimize Foundation Design: Armed with precise data on ground conditions, your structural engineer can design the most efficient and economical foundation, saving significant time and material costs.
Ensure Structural Safety & Compliance: A thorough ground investigation is a core requirement for building control and structural warranty providers. Our work ensures your project is safe, durable, and fully compliant.
A Single Point of Contact: By integrating our geotechnical services with our mapping and environmental assessments, we provide a seamless, coordinated site analysis process from a single, trusted partner.
