MEC Associate Chris Wall has been featured in the latest issue of Housebuilder & Property Developer magazine, offering expert insight into the critical role of ground investigation (GI) in development projects.
In the article, Chris outlines how thorough ground investigation; from initial desk-based assessments through to drilling, sampling, and remediation planning, plays a vital role in reducing risk, informing site design, and unlocking development potential.
With a focus on brownfield and complex sites, Chris explains how robust GI supports cost certainty, design viability, and planning success. He also discusses evolving industry standards, the benefits of early engagement, and how GI enables informed decision-making that de-risks project delivery.
