Independent contractor-focused support across tender stage, pre-start planning, live earthworks testing, project QA and final validation.
View Services View Projects Discuss a ProjectGround Strata Solutions is built on practical site experience. We have worked directly within major UK earthworks contractors and understand the pressures of programme, production, cost and specification compliance. Our role is to provide clear, defensible technical guidance that works in the real world, not just on paper.
Collectively, our directors bring over 30 years of experience in earthworks and geotechnical engineering, with a background rooted in contracting and delivery. That means we see projects from an earthworks point of view and provide practical, construction-led support from tender through to completion.
Assessing material behaviour, likely binder requirements, testing exposure and commercial earthworks risk before works begin.
Producing Inspection & Test Plans, testing grids, layer plans and trackers so the site team starts with robust controls in place.
Monitoring testing, moisture trends, compliance issues and field data throughout delivery to keep the scheme moving.
Providing completion reporting, compliance mapping and engineer-ready validation documents demonstrating adherence to specification.
We Understand Contractors: We have worked within earthworks delivery and understand the realities of programme, production targets, commercial pressures and specification compliance.
Practical Advice: We provide construction-led recommendations that can actually be implemented on site, rather than purely theoretical commentary.
Early Risk Identification: We help identify likely issues with material condition, modification requirements and testing exposure before they affect the job.
Continuous Support: Our support runs from tender stage through to completion reporting and validation.
Defensible Decisions: Clear testing systems, records, strategies and compliance documentation help reduce ambiguity and support project assurance.
Our new Projects page includes the first case study for Project Silver – DIRFT, showing how we supported a 300,000m³+ bulk earthworks scheme from tender allowances through to final completion reporting.
