1 COMPANY HISTORY

Geotechnical Engineering Limited was incorporated in 1961 to provide ground investigation

services. We remain the largest privately owned ground investigation contractor in the UK,

providing quality data to the construction industry.

The management of Geotechnical Engineering Ltd are committed to the implementation and

continual improvement of our Quality, Environmental and Health and Safety Management

systems. All staff are involved in the continual maintenance of high standards of customer

service in the areas of drilling and geo-environmental and geotechnical related activities that

fulfil contractual requirements to current legislation and pollution control.

2. HEALTH AND SAFETY

We hold ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001: 2007 accreditations and comply

with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and associated legislation.

Our ultimate goal is to achieve an accident-free workplace and our objective is to minimise the

incidence of occupational accidents, illnesses and near-misses. To achieve this we:

• Provide all employees with all necessary equipment, information, training and supervision.

• Recognise and accept our duty to protect the health and safety of all visitors, including

contractors and temporary employees and any other person, including members of the

public, who may be affected by our operations.

• Make all employees and contractors aware that health and safety is the responsibility of

every person associated with the company and that it is their duty to take reasonable care

of their own and other people's safety and welfare and to report any situation which may

pose a threat to well-being.

• Ensure that all accidents are reported and fully investigated without delay. Lessons learnt

are swiftly conveyed to relevant staff.



• Provide effective communication channels to facilitate timely, multi-way exchange of

relevant information and advice, with access to guidance and documentation.

• Recognise that a safety mind-set is as important as providing safe systems of work and

operate a no tolerance disciplinary policy.

• Maintain a Quality, Environmental and Health and Safety continuous improvement plan.

We also hold Achilles RISQS and UVDB and the extensive range of quality and safety

accreditations that you would expect of any competent and responsible contractor.

Our focus is on behavioural safety and so we regularly carry out unannounced site inspections

and encourage full disclosure near-miss reporting.

3. ACCREDITATIONS

At Geotechnical Engineering Ltd we hold a wide range of certification and accreditations to

demonstrate our commitment to quality, health, safety and environmental compliance.

In addition to ISO 9001, ISO14001 and OSHAS 18001 our laboratory is accredited to UKAS. We

also hold CHAS, SAFEContractor, CQMS and Exor (all SSIPs) and ConstructionLine. We are

members of the BDA and AGS and are represented on their committees by our directors. We

are affiliated with the FTA and TSA.

As well as industry recognised accreditations, we also hold sector specific accreditations such

as Achilles RISQS and UVDB to operate in the rail and utilities sectors.

VACUUM EXCAVATOR

Vacuum excavation is an intrinsically safe method of

avoiding dangerous and expensive utility strikes.

In line with HSG47 industry best practice, the method

eliminates the threat from buried services, whether it be

checking known services or pre‐drilling at borehole

positions.

The Hydro Vac technique uses a high pressure water jet to

break up the ground safely. The water jet is very effective

at penetrating all ground types including cohesive soils,

but is not aggressive enough to damage any services that

may be present. The slurry waste from disintegrated

ground is removed via the high performance vacuum, held

in the on board storage tank, then safely disposed of.

The pneumatic method suits all non‐cohesive ground

types and does not harm services that could possibly be

present. This technique leaves a dry material which can

easily be put back into the ground.

The Vacuum Excavation method is ideally suited to petrol

forecourt and other high risk site operations, where

service avoidance safety is paramount.

On a typical contract, our highly trained operators would

attend site with the vacuum unit and a stand‐alone

concrete core unit.

Once service information has been checked and the

position of known services established, the surface hard‐

standing can be cored to the appropriate diameter at each

position. The vacuum unit can then be used to excavate

pits to the required depth at each location.

Having ensured that the positions are free of services, the

pits are then backfilled with gravel or temporary tubing

with a concrete cap to make them safe. Our Pioneer

drilling rigs can then extend the boreholes to the required

depth.

Our highly skilled crews have undergone all the required

training for a majority of operations including;

CSCS, SPA, National Grid, Street Works

BESC, CAT+, RD4000

RESTRICTED ACCESS PIONEER RIG

To complement our fleet of pioneer rigs we have developed

a specialist, low headroom, narrow tracked machine for

those difficult to access borehole locations.

Still maintaining the Pioneer’s impressive drilling

capabilities, the low headroom machine sits a mere 2.5m

high while in standard drilling position. It can be reduced in

height to as little as 2m, without its winch. The tracks can

be retracted to 0.9m tracking width. It can access spaces

that most rotary rigs would be unable to enter.

The rig is mobilised on a ‘flat‐bed’ truck and a support

vehicle carries all the equipment required for the drilling,

including installation materials.

The Restricted Access Pioneer is capable of:

• Dynamic sampling of soils to 20m deep, to

obtain near‐undisturbed, continuous samples up to

112mm diameter retained in a plastic liner, forming

boreholes of up to 143mm diameter.

• Capable of internal operations using a

dedicated fume extraction system.

• Rotary core drilling to 50m deep to obtain

continuous rock cores of up to 112mm

diameter, using a range of drilling flushes.

• Concrete coring.

• Capable of undertaking SPT tests.

• Undisturbed soil sampling of 100mm and 70mm

diameter.

• Forming boreholes for a variety of ground

remediation techniques.

• Installing standpipes, monitoring wells, biaxial

inclinometer tubing, and various other

instruments.
