Plate Bearing Testing

At Chelmer, we are dedicated to providing top-tier construction and civil engineering solutions, including Plate Bearing Testing, a pivotal service designed to determine the load-bearing capacity of the ground. This essential testing is a cornerstone for our diverse client base in the UK, encompassing Structural Engineers, Architects, Developers, and more, ensuring their projects are founded on dependable ground conditions.

Plate Bearing Testing, also known as Plate Load Testing, involves applying a load to the soil and measuring its response, specifically the settlement caused by the load. This method is critical for assessing the strength and stability of the soil before construction begins, aiding in the design of foundations and ensuring the safety and durability of the structure. Our proficiency in Plate Bearing Testing is integral to our comprehensive service offerings, which include Geotechnical and Environmental Ground Investigations, Laboratory Testing, Drainage, and Surveying.

We pride ourselves on offering a unique 'one-stop' solution to the industry, aligned with our mission to secure the longevity of our company through repeat and referral business, achieved by ensuring customer satisfaction in all aspects such as timeliness, attention to detail, and adopting a service-minded attitude. Our dedication to Plate Bearing Testing is a testament to these values, as we strive to meet and surpass our clients' expectations.

Our team of highly skilled professionals utilizes the latest equipment to perform Plate Bearing Testing, adhering strictly to the current Standards. This commitment to excellence ensures the accuracy and reliability of our test results, which are crucial for the planning and successful execution of construction projects. Recognizing the importance of these results in making informed decisions, we are committed to delivering them with utmost precision and efficiency.

Innovation lies at the heart of Chelmer's operations. We continuously seek to enhance the delivery of our services, ensuring that crucial on-site results are promptly accessible to our clients. This pursuit of improvement is evident in our Laboratory Testing Service, which complements our Site Investigation services by providing high-quality, timely test results. Thanks to our in-house laboratory and collaborations with various other testing laboratories, we can fulfill all testing requirements for our clients in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Beyond testing, Chelmer offers comprehensive interpretative reporting through our Consultancy Service. Our team, comprising Geotechnical Engineers, Geo-Environmental Consultants, Environmental Geoscientists, Engineering Technicians, and Geologists, delivers vital insights for foundation design and environmental assessments. These insights are crucial for understanding site conditions and formulating the appropriate construction strategies, particularly in cases requiring remediation strategies for contaminated sites.

Addressing drainage issues is another area where Chelmer excels. We provide a wide range of services, from high-pressure jetting and CCTV surveys to pipework tracing and extensive repair work. By leveraging MicroDrainage software for full drainage design capabilities, we ensure our solutions are precisely tailored to each project's unique requirements.

Our Surveys and Monitoring services further bolster our comprehensive offerings. These services, including Topographical Surveying and Movement Monitoring, are strategically designed to save costs and time during the initial phases of a project, supporting everything from the planning of development schemes to the budgeting for materials.

Chelmer is committed to unlocking the potential of sites deemed challenging due to contamination or other factors. Our Remediation of Contaminated Land services highlight our ability to guide clients through the necessary phases, assisting them in meeting their project timelines and financial objectives.
