Subsurface Geotechnical are a leading firm of independent geophysical consultants, based in the heart of the historic city of Worcester. Our company provides essential geophysical services for practical applications in site investigation, environmental science, archaeology and non-destructive testing. Established in 1985, we were one of the first geophysical firms in the UK to utilise ground radar investigations commercially. In the intervening years Subsurface Geotechnical have achieved a body of successfully completed projects both in the UK and around the world.

Our geophysical surveys are always carried out by highly qualified geophysicists, not technicians. This allows on-site problems to be solved by customising data acquisition to the highest levels of technical excellence. Following a comprehensive programme of data processing and interpretation by our team of experts; survey results are presented in an easy to understand engineering CAD format.

WHAT IS APPLIED GEOPHYSICS?

Applied geophysics investigates the physical properties of the ground, providing important information on subsurface material conditions for all types of practical applications. Geophysical investigations are non-intrusive, non-invasive and avoid the disruption that can be caused by drilling, pitting and trenching. Geophysical surveys are able to cover large site areas rapidly, and optimise the targeting of any essential intrusive inspections. In environments where intrusive investigations are not permissible, our geophysical surveys can still provide answers.
