JGP have recently had a paper accepted by The Ussher Society. The paper will be included in their Proceedings of the Ussher Society publication, Geoscience in South-West England, 14, 192–200. Titled: ‘Evidence’ for transition between Authigenic and Allogenic Aquifer functioning related to Regional Uplift and Sea Level Change in the Plymouth Coastal Karst Aquifer. The paper was…
In November 2016, a rock fall from the cliffs at Tolcarne near Newquay, fell onto the beach access road. The access road was closed for public safety. JGP were engaged by Cormac to undertake the stabilisation design to secure the cliff before it could be reopened. The stabilisation works comprised the drilling of both soil…
Two of JGP’s geo-environmental specialists are on the committee of the South West Contaminated Land Forum (SWCLF), which meets quarterly, along with other regional consultants and local authority environmental health officers. One of the primary aims of the forum is to put together a protocol for dealing with arsenic in the Southwest of England, which…

JGP are developing an outline surface water management strategy for the new Princetown Distillery on Dartmoor. The study will provide a sensitive design solution that works with the natural environment and considers flow paths from offsite water sources through the site. Crucially the sites surface water management solution will replicate the existing greenfield runoff characteristics…
