Discover our Ground Investigation Report Library
SOCOTEC UK draws on an extensive library of UK Ground Investigation (GI) reports, gathered over our 80-year legacy.
The library has been collated since our beginning as Soil Mechanics, through to the leading UK GI specialist we are today. We take pride in maintaining and utilising our comprehensive geotechnical investigation report library, allowing us to continually expand our knowledge and deliver the highest level of support to our clients.
Our collection of factual and interpretative reports serves as an outstanding foundation for developing ground condition models and intelligently planning future ground investigations.
