Expert Environmental & Geotechnical Services in Stockport
Established in 1995, GeoAssist has built a reputation as a trusted provider of environmental and geotechnical services. Our team of qualified engineers and technicians brings over three decades of collective experience to deliver tailored solutions for complex ground-related challenges. We specialise in site investigations, geotechnical analysis, and environmental remediation, supported by an extensive in-house technical library and geological records dating back 50 years. Our approach prioritises direct supervision of all fieldwork by experienced professionals, ensuring accurate data collection and analysis. We maintain compliance with Eurocode 7 and British Standards through advanced software and laboratory facilities. Communication remains central to our operations, enabling us to produce client-focused reports that meet specific project requirements.With capabilities ranging from preliminary risk assessments to remediation strategies, we serve planning consultants, local authorities, and construction firms across diverse sectors. Our investment in modern drilling equipment and testing methodologies ensures efficient delivery of intrusive investigations, including cable percussive drilling and rotary core sampling. We provide comprehensive in-situ testing services, covering standard penetration tests and plate bearing assessments. Our UKAS-accredited laboratory conducts full-range geotechnical analyses, from Atterberg limits to triaxial testing. GeoAssist remains committed to delivering technically robust, economically viable solutions while maintaining transparency and professionalism in all client interactions.

Services
Site Investigation
Our comprehensive site investigations combine intrusive drilling and non-invasive analysis to assess subsurface conditions. Using cable percussive and rotary drilling techniques, we collect soil and rock samples for laboratory testing. This data informs contamination assessments, foundation design, and earthwork planning while maintaining compliance with British Standards.
Geotechnical Analysis
We conduct slope stability assessments, foundation design, and earthwork analysis using Eurocode 7 compliant software. Our engineers evaluate bearing capacity, settlement risks, and groundwater impacts to ensure safe, cost-effective construction solutions for infrastructure projects.
Environmental Remediation
Our contaminated land specialists develop remediation strategies following Phase I & II risk assessments. We implement soil vapour extraction, bioremediation, and engineered capping solutions to address industrial pollutants while ensuring regulatory compliance for redevelopment projects.
In-situ Testing
We perform standard penetration tests (SPT), dynamic cone penetration (DCP), and plate bearing assessments directly on site. These evaluations measure soil strength and compaction levels to validate design assumptions and verify construction quality in real-time.
Laboratory Testing
Our UKAS-accredited laboratory conducts Atterberg limits, triaxial strength, and permeability testing on soil and rock samples. We provide detailed reports on material properties to support geotechnical design decisions and construction material specifications.
