You Need Geotechnical Assessments... And We Do Them!
Geotechnical assessments are the foundation of safe and successful construction projects, providing critical insights into the behaviour and characteristics of soil, rock, and groundwater at a project site.
Whether you're planning a residential development, commercial building, infrastructure project, or environmental remediation, these evaluations ensure stability, minimise risks, and help to optimise design.
Geotechnical assessments also help to predict potential challenges and create tailored solutions to meet your project's unique needs. Explore how our comprehensive services can set the groundwork for your project's success.

Slope Stability Assessments And Analysis
At Abbeydale Geoscience we’ve worked on a large number of projects involving slope stability issues.
Starting with initial slope assessments using geological maps, topographical surveys and secondary data sources, through to slope stability investigations and monitoring of active slope movements.
We use geological cross sections to help showcase the ground conditions through a slope and highlight any features graphically, making the slope stability analysis easier to visualise and understand.
Earthworks Assessments
Understanding how different materials are going to be used throughout a development is critical.
When everyone is aware of what materials are suitable for different uses and understand the process, everything flows naturally.
At Abbeydale Geoscience we have experience in helping to determine what engineering applications on-site soils can be used for, and specifying where certain soils can be reused within proposed earthworks.


Geological Assessments
There are lots of reasons why a geological assessment of a site can be beneficial & cost-effective prior to developing a site.
From indicating if deep superficial soils are present, or if other geological hazards such as sinkholes might be present in certain parts of Yorkshire (such as from gypsum dissolution in Ripon).
A comprehensive geological assessment is undertaken as part of a Phase 1 Desk Study or Phase 2 Ground Investigation, but sometimes for feasibility purposes it’s worth doing as a standalone assessment.
