Civic Earth

We provide geoconsultancy services by our team of geologists, engineers and environmental scientists, working across the UK to provide geotechnical and geoenvironmental, soil health and material management consultancy services.

Led by director Dan Matthews, Civic Earth launched in 2023. We are a team of geoengineers who care about planet, people and place. We are active listeners and proactive problem solvers who are driven by the carbon challenge we face. We recognise the connectivity between soil functions, material reuse, soil health and biodiversity, all of which positively contribute to the low carbon agenda. We provide analysis and solutions that look beyond soil strength and remediation to also consider soil health and carbon impacts in the sustainable treatment of contaminated ground.

We believe that effective collaboration of the technical disciplines within project teams optimises soil functions, which is critical to system thinking in the built environment. A sound understanding of the ground conditions is key to understanding and managing risk in development projects, and we use our unique blend of insight, intuition, skill and judgement to take an intelligent approach to risk that is carefully balanced with a commercial understanding and appreciation of the vision for a project.
