Approved list of Geo Investigators in Uk???

[EndEng]

I will be looking to commission a geo investigation on a medium project in the Uk and wandered if there is some governing body or Association that I can contact for a list of Companies. My previous employer had their own in-house geo department so I have no experience to go off.

If you contact the AGS [Association of Geotechnical Specialists],(you can do an internet search for their website), you should be able to get a list of their members, however it is one of those where you have to pay them to be listed, so it doesn't cover all the companies out there, the company I work for for one!
Where abouts in the UK is the project, this may help in tracking down a suitable company, and what is the proposed scope of works. If you need some more info, please contact me directly, or go to our website at

http://www.geotechnical.co.uk,

although it does need some serious up-dating at the moment

Great, found the site. It has listed at least one company my collegue has used.

This site is in Barnsley. We have a great deal of desk top info already as this site has alot of history being in a mined area. It's a new project for us on an existing college and I am still to get my teeth into it. Any new Geo investigation will be on a small scale and taylored around the existing info. There's some research for me to do yet before I can tender this element.

The engineering section to my company is relatively new. Working nationally I hope to establish regional relationships with companies including Geo investigators.

Thanks for the reply.
