Geotechnical Engineering Ltd (GEL) is proud to announce its commitment to sustainable business practices, aiming to generate profit while enhancing societal and environmental conditions. This strategy is designed to ensure the company’s longevity and profitability.

In alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 13, GEL is dedicated to maintaining business resilience as it progresses towards a Net Carbon Zero future. A critical step in this journey is the commitment to science-based emissions reduction targets. To this end, Geotechnical has joined the SME Climate Hub, a non-profit global initiative that empowers small to medium-sized enterprises to take climate action and build resilient businesses for the future.

By participating in this initiative, Geotechnical aims to achieve internationally recognized emission reductions aligned with the latest climate science. The company has committed to:

Halve its greenhouse gas emissions before 2030

Achieve Net Zero emissions before 2050

Disclose its progress on a yearly basis

Geotechnical’ s 2016 carbon emission data will serve as the baseline for its 2030 target.

Geotechnical Engineering is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of the Bristol Camanachd Shinty Team, a vibrant part of our local community engagement programme. Our colleague, Tony Hastings, is not only a valued member of our technical team, but also a dedicated player for Bristol Camanachd!.

Established in 2019, Bristol Camanachd has quickly risen to become a formidable force, having clinched the Southwest development league title for the past three consecutive years! Their success is a testament to the team’s hard work and the community’s support.

Our sponsorship aims to foster the team’s growth and ensure that new players can join without the financial burden of equipment costs. Initiatives like university engagement and freshers’ fair participation are just a few ways we’re helping to promote the sport and welcome new talent.

Co-Chairs and joint captains, Thomas and Brendan, express their gratitude: “Your contribution will go a long way to helping us to continue to grow and develop. A massive thank you from everyone at Bristol Camanachd!”. Despite a recent 6-1 defeat against a nimble Cornish team, the Bristol Camanachd team remains upbeat and determined to come back stronger.

Geospatial Engineering, a division of Geotechnical Engineering Ltd, has successfully secured a place on the Severn Trent and Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig topographical surveying services framework. This achievement will see the company providing essential asset management surveys over the next three years.

Lyndon Barton, Managing Director of Geospatial Engineering, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are delighted to be supporting Severn Trent on the framework, which marks a key period of growth and increased market penetration into the geospatial sector.”

As part of the framework, Geospatial Engineering will support Severn Trent Group design engineers with feasibility and outline design activities. The services provided will include topographical surveying, laser scanning, and utility mapping, alongside contributions from 11 other successful framework survey consultants.

Joseph Turner, Framework Procurement Manager at Severn Trent Group, highlighted the importance of these services: “Severn Trent operates over an area of 21,000 square kilometres, supplying on average nearly two billion litres of drinking water a day to the highest standards in Europe. The services that Geospatial Engineering provides, collecting detailed information of proposed and existing assets such as pipes, treatment works, and reservoirs, are critical to ensuring we meet the current and future needs of our 8 million customers.”
