Pell Frischmann is proud to have been appointed to the multi-supplier Geo-Environmental Desk Study Framework for Severn Trent Water and Hafren Dyfrdwy.

Assigned for the next three years, the framework will see us conducting desk studies to assess site constraints and risks within an identified area, ensuring that design and development works are delivered responsibly and in a timely manner. The information gathered through the geo-environmental desk studies will also assist with the planning and scheduling of services, helping meet the programme’s commitments.

Sara Brennan, our Geoenvironmental Associate Director, said:

“It’s a privilege to lead our contribution to Severn Trent Water and Hafren Dyfrdwy’s Geo-Environmental Desk Study Framework. These studies play a vital role in identifying ground-related risks and environmental constraints early in the design process. I’m proud of the expertise our team brings, and we’re committed to delivering clear, robust and high-quality reports to inform effective planning and decision making”.

We look forward to collaborating closely with Severn Trent Water and Hafren Dyfrdwy during this period, ensuring safe development works and the successful completion of the project.

Geotechnical Engineering

Our Geotechnical Team has been integral to scheme delivery, beginning with building structure foundation design in 1926. From these early beginnings, our skills have grown to offer expertise in geotechnical engineering and geology covering investigation, assessment, modelling, design and monitoring for Highways, Rail, Buildings, Land Development, flood and Water projects across the UK and overseas.

We provide a broad range of geotechnical engineering and geology consultancy and support services including site appraisal and investigation, hazard identification and risk assessment, ground and groundwater modelling and numerical analyses, design of foundations, retaining structures, substructures, soil and rock slopes, slope stabilisation, flood alleviation structures, earthworks and expert reporting.

Led by Andy Gill, our team provides value engineering in construction, managing ground risks and establishing cost-effective geotechnical design solutions for a diverse range of clients across many Sectors, such as: Network Rail, where we have provided emergency ground assessments to safeguard the operational railway following landslips, and Landsec, where we have designed deep-basement solutions for major urban developments. We have used innovative techniques to enable oversite development adjacent to railway corridors, maximising value in constrained environments.

We’d love to hear from you!
