Cone Penetration Testing
Testimonials
Will Rudd Davidson
“GE Solutions were engaged initially to support the site investigation of a challenging site with very poor ground conditions. Their expertise enabled an accurate scope to capture the characteristics of the ground to inform civil and structural engineering considerations to support the development. Thereafter GE Solutions’ appointment was extended to carry out specialist analysis of settlement behaviour in the soil. Their expertise established a sound modelling approach, adoption of relevant data and coordination with the pre and post development of the site and enabled the client to make decisions on short- and long-term implications.”

• Thorough reports detailing the work carried out and providing the required information in an accessible manner.
• Always available to provide further discussions to any aspect of their report.
• Can provide support and assistance on any other aspects of ground engineering if required.
• A good working relationship has developed between our organisations”

Terrenus Land & Water
“In mid-2021 Terrenus Land & Water engaged GES to carry out a number of cone penetration tests at a site near Bishopton, west Scotland. The investigation of the local geology as well as the site access conditions were complex and demanded a high degree of care and technical input both during the fieldworks and in the processing of the data outputs. We were very impressed with the GES team and their ability to assist our investigation as well as their ability to adapt to local conditions and the quality of their plant. All aspects of the GES input were delivered on time and on budget and we look forward to using their services in the future.”

“GES have done a nice job on site for us here with extensive cone penetration testing & sampling and it’s great to have their design capabilities to follow-on from this, getting us to an engineered solution for a site with very difficult ground conditions.”

“Bayne Stevenson Associates are pleased to endorse the excellent performance and overall service provided by GE Solutions Ltd over the past 12 months. As a specialist CPT borehole drilling contractor, their professional assistance is invariably required for more complex sites, with both surface, and sub-surface condition challenges. From appointment, to report production, their communication is excellent, and specialist assistance and advice from their Technical Team is always available. In terms of overall cost, it is increasingly evident that the use of CPT bores represents excellent value, and is an invaluable data resource in comparison to more traditional investigation techniques, particularly on sites where more marginal ground conditions prevail. We look forward to continuing and developing our professional relationship with GES for the future.”
