Ashton Bennett Consultancy specialises in the solution of geotechnical and environmental problems through professional assessment and interpretation of all ground and groundwater conditions.

The design, behaviour, safety, costs and environmental setting of any development are directly affected by the historical and geological nature of a specific site. Specialist investigative techniques and experience are, therefore, essential in the acquisition and interpretation of this data and its application to safe, economic design and construction.

Ashton Bennett Consultancy’s specialist expertise and experience in investigative techniques has led to commissions for a wide variety and scale of projects throughout the UK, from small housing developments to oil refineries and large industrial works including shipbuilding yards, closed mines, chemical works, railway development and landfill sites. The full range of disciplines provided includes recommendations for all stages of a scheme from acquisition and reclamation to design and construction, and embraces desk research, ground investigation, environmental surveys, environmental site reclamation, environmental impact assessment, water quality investigation, landfill design, mine stabilisation, geotechnical design and foundation design.
