SITE SURVEYS & CONSULTANCY
Clear advice before you commit to a solution
From site surveys and soil testing to bespoke design and specification, we help you understand the site, the options and the right next step before work begins.
The right information leads to better decisions
Off-mains drainage depends on more than the system itself. Levels, layout, soil conditions, available space, access, discharge options and how the site will be used can all affect what is practical.
Site surveys
For existing properties and new-build sites, we assess the layout, levels, access and practical constraints to establish the right route forward.
Soil porosity testing
Where a drainage field is being considered, we can test the ground to establish whether it is suitable and inform the design.
Consultancy & specification
For straightforward or complex projects, we provide practical technical advice, system design and specification tailored to the site.

From what’s there to what’s possible
A site survey can answer the practical questions that need resolving before a system is designed or works are priced. For existing properties, that may mean understanding the current arrangement and identifying constraints. For new sites, it means establishing what the ground and layout will support.
Where a drainage field is proposed, WES can carry out soil porosity testing in accordance with BS 6297 and use the results to inform the design.
Planning a new system?
From the first question to a clear way forward
01 Understand the brief
We start with what you know, what you’re trying to achieve and where the uncertainty lies.
02 Investigate
We visit the site where required, assess the relevant conditions and carry out any necessary testing.
03 Recommend & specify
We explain the findings and set out the most appropriate technical route for the site.
04 Support delivery
If the project moves forward, WES can continue into design, installation, project management or supervision.
Bring us in early on complex projects
Early specialist input can help identify constraints before they become expensive problems. For more involved sites, WES can provide bespoke consultancy, design and specification, project management and on-site supervision as part of a joined-up service.
