Ground investigation and environmental consultancy LK Group has been appointed to a major four-year framework agreement with Dorset Council, providing site investigation and materials testing services valued at up to £4 million.

Under the framework, LK Group will support Dorset Council’s construction and maintenance programmes by delivering a range of specialist services, including field and laboratory testing, geotechnical and geo-environmental investigations and technical consultancy.

The appointment is part of Dorset Council's broader infrastructure investment strategy and will ensure consistent, high-quality support across key projects. Led by Dorset Highways, the framework is also open to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. LK Group is one of just four suppliers selected to deliver on the agreement.


Colin Crompton, Director at The LK Group, 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."
