Initial review & risk identification
Early-stage archaeological constraint assessment, providing initial advice and design amendment options while highlighting risks.
Professional Archaeological Services
Delivering specialist archaeological services for utility and infrastructure projects, including consultancy, desk-based assessments and fieldwork evaluation.
Our dedicated Archaeology team works closely with our utility and infrastructure clients to provide strategic and proportionate advice  to progress their projects, conforming with all regulation and legislation.
Conducting thorough research of historical records to identify potential archaeological constraints, we develop Written Schemes of Investigation (WSIs) that outline on-site procedures and provide monitoring to ensure the protection of archaeological finds during construction.
Our team conducts evaluation and trial trenching to assess the significance of archaeological remains and delivers comprehensive post-excavation analysis and reports. We also focus on geoarchaeological and paleoenvironmental assessments.
I am focused on finding innovative approaches to archaeological solutions on behalf of our clients. With a deep understanding of archaeology, I can assess how projects can be solution driven, enhancing viability, due diligence in design in exciting and rewarding ways.
