Appointed to a four-year framework with Dorset Council, we are set to deliver up to £4 million worth of site investigation and materials testing services across the county.
The framework will support Dorset Council’s construction and maintenance projects through comprehensive ground investigation services, including field and laboratory testing, geotechnical and geo-environmental investigations, and technical consultancy.
This appointment and subsequent works are intended to ensure high-quality, consistent support for much-needed infrastructure improvements across Dorset.
Led by Dorset Highways, the framework is also accessible to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. LK is one of just four suppliers selected for the agreement.
The framework marks a key milestone in the company’s South West expansion, following an announcement earlier this year to target the region as a major growth area.
With its strong potential for development and infrastructure projects, the South West was identified as a strategic focus for our national growth plans. The Dorset Council framework is a direct result of that commitment.
Colin Crompton, our Director at LK said: “We’re proud to have been appointed to Dorset Council’s site investigation framework. This is a great opportunity to support the region’s development ambitions with high-quality ground investigation services, and we’re looking forward to building a strong working relationship with the Council and its partners.
“The work covers everything from geotechnical and geo-environmental investigations to materials testing and structural surveys – all essential to the safe and sustainable delivery of infrastructure. We’re excited to bring our technical expertise to the region and are committed to delivering both strong outcomes and meaningful social value throughout the life of the framework.
