About

Chelmer Global Ltd provide geotechnical and geo-environmental services across the UK, supporting construction, development and land assessment projects. The company delivers a fully integrated service covering site investigation, in-situ testing, laboratory analysis, drainage, consultancy and remediation, allowing clients to manage all aspects of ground investigation and assessment through a single provider.

Over time, Chelmer has developed from a dedicated site investigation specialist into a multi-disciplinary company capable of supporting projects from initial assessment through to final reporting and verification. This includes geotechnical and environmental investigations, UKAS accredited laboratory testing, drainage surveys and repairs, utility tracing and monitoring, along with consultancy services that interpret data and provide clear recommendations.

All work is carried out using a coordinated approach, combining field investigation with in-house laboratory testing and interpretative reporting. This ensures that data is collected, analysed and presented consistently, allowing engineers, developers and project teams to make informed decisions based on accurate and site-specific information. Services are delivered in accordance with current standards, with a focus on safety, reliability and efficiency throughout.

Chelmer work with a wide range of clients including structural engineers, developers, insurers, contractors, local authorities and private individuals. Each project is approached with a clear understanding of its requirements, whether that involves foundation design, contamination assessment, drainage investigation or planning support. The aim is to provide practical, technically sound solutions that are directly relevant to the site and its proposed use.

A key strength of the company is its in-house UKAS accredited laboratory, which allows soil and water samples to be analysed quickly and accurately without reliance on external providers. This results in faster turnaround times, consistent reporting and a more efficient workflow from initial investigation through to analysis and interpretation. Laboratory capabilities include geotechnical classification and strength testing, as well as contamination and environmental analysis.

Consultancy services form an integral part of Chelmer’s offering, providing interpretative reports and technical guidance based on investigation data. This includes geotechnical and geo-environmental reporting, ground movement assessments, slope stability analysis, drainage assessment and remediation strategy development. Where contamination is identified, Chelmer can support remediation works and provide verification reporting to confirm that sites are suitable for their intended use.

As the company has grown, its services have expanded to include drainage investigation and repair, topographical surveying, utility tracing, movement monitoring and subsidence investigation. By combining these services under one structure, Chelmer provide a streamlined solution that reduces the need to coordinate multiple contractors and ensures that all aspects of a project are aligned.

Chelmer focus on delivering a professional and responsive service, with clear communication and consistent technical standards throughout. From initial desk study through to final reporting, each stage of the process is managed to ensure accuracy, efficiency and clarity. This structured approach supports planning, design and construction, helping clients progress projects with confidence and without unnecessary delay.

Whether undertaking a single investigation or delivering a full programme of services, Chelmer provide the technical expertise and practical support required to manage ground-related risks effectively. Their integrated approach ensures continuity across all stages of a project, supporting reliable outcomes and long-term performance.
