Soil management
We are an experienced team of geoenvironmental consultants focused on identifying and managing in ground contamination risk while providing economical and practical solutions for soils investigation and management.
Soil Management to us means understanding the soils you have on site and this starts at Ground Investigation stage.
What we do
Land planning & due diligence
We love nothing more than taking on projects at land planning stage. Our clients really see the benefit of getting us involved early on. We are able to advise on potential risks and solutions, provided in a ‘heads up’ manner to provide risk management confidence.
We always aim to look at your requirements for project development and constructability, not just the requirements of planning conditions.
Assessment of commercial risks
When we assess commercial risks, we tend to look beyond the Bill of Quantities at the reality of soil management and the build of a project.
Based on over 20 years of experience and collaboration with local hauliers and tipping sites, we work to get the best and most realistic outcome to manage commercial risk budgets.
Contract tender advice
Contracts and Bills of Quantities are not always based on the reality of what is in the ground, with much ambiguity, especially when it comes to waste classification and acceptance.
We work with our clients to fully understand the risks involved, allowing you to respond to tenders in the most appropriate way while reducing your known risk.
Materials Management and Site Audit
We are highly experienced in the production of Material Management Plans (MMPs) and the associated site audits for tracking and verification of soil movements.
Material management is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we have a great reputation for the delivery of effective material management advice, with recommendations from clients and competitors alike.
We can provide training for your team in the understanding of the requirements of effective material management, giving you a step forward in your companies approach to sustainable construction.

Ground investigations
Desk study and investigation
When we undertake Desk Studys and Site Investigations, we aim to give you the answers to questions that you possibly don’t know you need to ask.
We look at the end use of the site and the way that it will likely be constructed to inform the structure of our investigations and recommendations, and to highlight potential gains to our clients.
Our reports are written for you in a way that you, the client, can understand, not in a way that needs translation and interpretation in order to be able to understand the site requirements.
If you would like to discuss our unique way of working, please do get in touch, the team are more than happy to discuss options with you.
Site validation & verification
We can provide independent validation and verification of soils re-use, allowing us to provide reports for planning and warranty condition discharge.

Remediation Strategy and Planning Liaison
We are all about practical solutions at Foxtree, aiming to use land/investigation data to provide remediation strategies that are based on the end development plans, not the textbook answers.
We do this by building material management into the Remediation Strategies to provide a much more sustainable solution that also allows the Local Planning Authority to understand our aims and outcomes.
If you would like to have a chat about how we achieve this, please get in touch and we will gladly talk you through our process.
