Our Services
 At Terramech we offer a rapid response to your requirements. Soil samples delivered to our laboratory are dealt with rapidly. Liquid and plastic limit tests can be completed in 24 hours and particle size in 48hours. Similarly, triaxial compression tests are turned around in just 24 hours. In situ California Bearing Ratio tests for road design are performed with the minimum of delay. When the site work is carried out in the morning, the results are in the post or faxed the same afternoon.
 
Site Investigations employing percussive drilling, rotary drilling, excavators, dynamic probing or sampling, together with hand dug trial pits as required. Comprehensive reports are produced for foundation design, taking into account, where appropriate, methane gas and contamination surveys.
