Independent geotechnical & geo-environmental consultants
Welcome to Abbeydale Building Environment Consultants 👋🏻
Helping you to understand what’s in the ground, and how to work with it.
How can we help?
Formed in 1993, we’re a small team of professional geoscience consultants that are here to help you get & understand the information that you need from the ground beneath your site.
A lot of time and money can be lost if the ground conditions are not known and understood; from over-designing engineering solutions to coming across unforeseen conditions that need to be addressed whilst works are underway.
Rest assured, we're with you every step of the way.
We work with our clients to understand what it is that they want to do and how to best work with what’s in the ground to make their development aspirations come to life. Sometimes even the seemingly small tweaks to a proposed development can have a fundamental impact to the potential risks to the end user.
We know that the Ground Investigation process can be a complex and “phased” approach, whether it’s the first time that you’ve been through it, or even if you’re more experienced with the processes involved.
We’ll guide you through the whole ground investigation process, right from initial feasibility and outline design, intrusive investigation and detailed design, design of remediation measures and then validation and verification at the end of the development process.
That's why we're always here to discuss anything with you at any point, including after you've received your report from us: our service doesn't stop there!
Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
We’re dedicated to getting the best possible outcome and work with any design team, partners, regulatory authorities and any other interested stakeholders to make sure that everyone understands the geoscience data that our assessments and reports are based on.
Why work with us?
Honest.
We work with our clients to provide thorough and honest evaluations of what level of assessment we think is needed and what the results mean.
Friendly.
We work on a high level of repeat business and form lasting relationships with our clients. If you want to ask something, we’re always here and happy to discuss what’s needed and why.
Down to 🌍.
We look for pragmatic solutions based on what’s in the ground and any other constraints. We stick with our clients through thick and thin, and at any phase in the overall development process.
The Personal Touch That You Deserve
We produce reports that are clear, concise & thoroughly explain how the ground conditions will affect your development proposals.
We want to make sure that you understand the whole investigation process, and what is likely to be required at each stage of the process.
Clear.
Because we know that our reports are read by lots of different people, with differing technical backgrounds, we use a plain English approach to our report writing.
Concise.
Using diagrams and plans also helps to show geoscience information in a way that's easier to understand and digest; the less words that we need to use the better!
Robust.
We assess as many different data sources as possible so that we provide a thorough assessment of all of the available data & maintain the highest ethical standards
For every job you get a dedicated project consultant. One point of contact for everything.
Our team are involved in the day-to-day running of projects they’re involved with, so you get to know them personally.
Who we work for, & who we work with
We work on a high level of repeat business & forge long-lasting working relationships with developers, consultants, architects, structural engineers & regulatory bodies.
Our suppliers have been carefully chosen because they share the same values as us and provide us with high-quality service time & time again.
