We are delighted to announce that we have secured a further four new supermarket site instructions.

We will be undertaking ground investigations at two Asda sites in Wythenshaw and Brighton and two Co-op sites in Ambleside and Swansea on behalf of HB Projects.

These new projects follow a number of similar previous instructions including ground investigations at Asda sites in Leighton and Beckton and also a series of projects for Lidl.

The reports we provide assist the client in determining the ground conditions to facilitate expansion of the existing premises as well as helping meet planning conditions.

Jeff Roberts, managing director of Roberts Environmental said: “We are delighted to have been awarded these new contracts, which were won following competitive tenders. Our ground investigations enable property owners and developers to make informed decisions on the contamination status of a site, as well as advising on foundation design by testing soils.

“We are continuing to experience strong demand for our services in the food retail sector, where supermarkets are looking to develop new sites or expand existing premises for click and collect facilities or chiller units. With offices in the North East and the South East we are able to mobilise our team of geo-environmental specialists to deliver our services across the whole of the UK.”
