Site Investigation
Soil investigation, geologic survey maps, preliminary investigation, detailed site investigation, supplementary investigation and construction control.
Igne enables these sectors to succeed through the provision of integrated or stand-alone solutions to site investigation, testing, UXO, geo-environmental, geothermal energy and water supply challenges.
The demand for high-quality site investigation and drilling services, and for water and energy resources from corporate and domestic customers remains intense.
These services must be delivered more efficiently, effectively and sustainably than ever. To achieve this, excellence in terms of experience, expertise and equipment must be combined to ensure service delivery is integrated, through one supplier, not many. This is why Igne was formed.

Litres
554,540 litres of hot beverages consumed by our drilling teams
This equates to nearly a quarter of the volume of a 50m swimming pool worth of tea. In fact, our drillers drink their own body weight in tea every 23 days.
Our drilling teams have drilled over 792km since 1988
The same as drilling the elevation of Everest nearly 90 times
Which is equivalent to drilling 82% of the distance from Land's End to John o'Groats as the crow flies. If travelling by road the lads would be on the outskirts of Sunderland - effectively they've drilled all the way home!
