Save as PDF Archaeological Services
Drawing on our understanding of the construction industry, we offer advice to clarify all processes and stages involved in ground investigation to provide a faster and more cost-effective route towards project design and planning approval.
As longstanding ground investigation specialists, our company recognises the synergy between archaeological investigations and geotechnical investigations. As part of the wider RSK Group we can supply specialist archaeological and heritage services which can be tailored to meet the requirements of any scheme, coupled with geo-environmental aspects or other environmental constraints as required.
