Tags: Featured

Where is the UK ground investigation industry now, and where is it heading next? Ten years on from the original Spotlight on the Industry survey, we’re inviting the industry to help shape an up-to-date picture.

This important survey is a joint initiative from Association of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists, British Drilling Association, Federation of Piling Specialists, British Geotechnical Association and Engineering Group of the Geological Society.

The survey explores:
• Understanding and compliance with technical, health, safety and environmental standards
• Current and future challenges, including staffing, contracts and competence

It takes 15–20 minutes, all responses are confidential, and findings will be shared later this year. We welcome responses from across the industry. The more voices we hear, the stronger the insight.

The survey will close on Tuesday 31st March 2026.
