About IGSL
IGSL is one of Ireland’s leading ground investigation and geotechnical companies. For over 30 years, we have delivered high quality services in ground investigation, geotechnical laboratory testing and geotechnical consultancy services to the construction and civil engineering industry.
We invest heavily in training and health and safety and in July 2014 attained Safe Cert. We have fostered close relationships with a number of third level institutions, including Carlow IT, UCD and Univsersity of Portsmouth. This has been key to our success and has provided us with high quality graduates.
Our laboratory in Naas is INAB accredited for testing of soils, rock aggregates and concrete. We provide specialist testing of hardcore for pyrite and the full range of testing to meet the recently updated SR21;2014 (Annex E). We also provide testing services on concrete blocks including petrography.
