About Us

G7 Geotech Ltd was founded in Leyland in 2015 and aims to provide reliable and informative Geotechnical Consultancy Services for Construction Industry Clients and their Professional Teams.  The main focus is attention to detail and we aim to keep in mind the overall aims of the projects we are involved in so that the wider design team can gain maximum benefit from our unique position as regularly being appointed prior to Planning Approval.
