Sub Surface

When it's busy, sometimes you get a Tracked Dumper Window Sampling Rig on a nice day! 🌤️

Perfect for carrying the samples around a large field in Dorset.

At Sub Surface, we are passionate about 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

It's something we actively build into how we work every day.

“𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗽” is how we approach it.

It’s about making practical, ongoing improvements.

It’s a mindset where everyone is encouraged and involved in improving processes, knowledge, and technical output.

Recently, that’s included:

▪️ Refreshing our branding visuals to better reflect who we are
▪️ Strengthening the environmental elements within our interpretative reports
▪️ Running Ground Improvement, Waste Classification and Street Works protocol CPD sessions across the team
▪️ Streamlining internal processes
▪️ Rolling out updates to our website

None of these are major changes on their own, but together, they 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, and 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗯 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺.

And we’ve got much more lined up for the remainder of 2026.

𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟰 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Today we take the next step.

We’re proud to launch the new Sub Surface branding.

As one of the longest-standing companies in the ground investigation industry, this is about more than a new look. It’s about aligning how we present ourselves today with the quality of work we deliver and our continued drive to strive for better outcomes and solutions.

Our new Sub Surface branding reflects:
* A more modern, professional identity
* A clearer message on the value of ground investigation
* A stronger platform for the future

All while maintaining our heritage.

The new logo incorporates “𝗘𝘀𝘁. 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟮”, recognising our longevity and the depth of knowledge and experience within our team.

And the 𝗦𝗦 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 continues to represent what we do best. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘣 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵.

This isn’t just a rebrand.

It’s a statement of intent.

We’re committed to:
* Better data
* Better solutions
* Continuous improvement in everything we do

All to help our clients reduce risk and build with confidence.

Understanding the ground beneath your feet.

Excited to share more soon.

🎢 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 🎢

We have recently been working at 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡, carrying out 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 ahead of piling for the construction of a 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞.

Plate bearing tests are essential for assessing working platforms, crane outrigger pads, piling mats, and some temporary structures. They help to:

✅ Ensure Ground Stability – Prevent ground failure (such as bearing capacity failure, excessive settlement or subsidence) by verifying the ground or working platform can safely support the intended load.

✅ Enhances Safety – Reduce the risk of accidents caused by bearing capacity failure and excessive settlements, protecting both personnel and equipment.

✅ Optimise Design and Construction – Provide accurate data to determine the required subbase thickness for working platforms, improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary material use and waste.

✅ Mitigates Project Delays and Costly Repairs – Identify potential ground issues early, preventing unexpected failures that could lead to costly delays.

✅ Ensure Compliance with Industry Standards – Meeting legal and engineering requirements.
