Geotechnical can usually be scoped faster when the project team sends the core site, planning and design information at the outset. The useful inputs are specific to this service, so the checklist below focuses on the evidence that affects the technical scope rather than a generic document list.
Use this guidance to check what may be needed before you submit information.
If the wording on your planning condition, tender request or site constraint is unclear, send it to EnviroSolution and we can advise which report, survey or assessment is likely to be relevant.
Information to send for Geotechnical
- Site address and boundary
- Proposed development layout
- Foundation or design questions if known
- Previous ground investigation reports
- Planning or warranty provider requirements
Project details that can change the scope
Used for foundation design, mining legacy, slope stability, ground risk screening and development design where ground conditions need technical assessment.
Tell us what decision the work needs to support, the submission or construction deadline, and whether another consultant, authority or regulator has already specified an output. That lets the scope respond to the actual project requirement instead of producing unnecessary work.
What we can confirm from that information
Once the available information has been reviewed, the commission can be aligned with the outputs the wider team needs. Depending on the agreed scope this commonly includes:
- Ground risk and project scope review
- Available geology and mining context
- Development constraint commentary
- Recommendations for investigation or design input
- Clear reporting for designers and project teams
Before you submit the enquiry
Use current drawings where possible and include the exact wording of any planning condition, validation request, tender clause or regulator comment. If information is missing, identify that clearly rather than delaying the enquiry: we can confirm whether it is essential before the work starts.
