Geotechnics is one of the UKs largest independent Ground Investigation specialists, employing over 100 people across its offices in Chester, Coventry, and Exeter. In addition, we have a UKAS accredited Geotechnical Testing laboratory at our Coventry facility.

We deal with the engineering and environmental interaction between earth materials and the built environment. We work with soil, rock, groundwater, and other man-made materials to help ground truth and understand the site-specific engineering behaviour beneath our feet.

We offer value through our research, investigation, testing, monitoring, reporting and evaluation to reduce the risks associated with the unknowns at the pre-construction stage.Working on decarbonisation, net zero lead projects, whether onshore or near-shore, we have gained industry-leading knowledge about the challenges of the sector, from early engagement and collaboration, stakeholder engagement and environmental protection to difficult access.

We are keen to get involved in project discussions as soon as possible to better understand the aims and goals of the project, stakeholder expectations, environmental sensitivities, and to help advise on the most appropriate ground investigation techniques to deploy.

Geotechnics is a key member of the Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (AGS) and hold UVDB, Constructionline, ISN and CyberEssentials accreditation.

Ahead of his attendance at 6th UK CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation summit Geotechnics’ Managing Director, Paul Hayes, said:

“2025 sees Geotechnics continue to support our clients on high profile decarbonisation projects across UK cluster sites. Working closely with FEED consultants, we continue to innovate and deliver high quality and environmentally assured site investigation works to reduce ground risk and uncertainty - we welcome the opportunity at the 6th UK CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation summit to support our client’s projects, goals and the UK’s drive towards net zero.”
