ESP provides energy management and recycling solutions that help clients improve sustainability and reduce environmental impact
Politicians and regulators may set environmental targets, but they have to be delivered by scientists and engineers. ESP are working on a number of relevant projects including a client intending to divert approximately 100,000T of “waste” away from landfills in Wales every year. We also helped establish the only permitted hazardous waste facility in Wales (The Hub, in Swansea).
We have been applying our understanding of fluid flow, learned from ESP’s Airwall technology, to assess methods of ground gas control, landfill gas collection, composting and bioremediation. ESP is in an excellent position to undertake the completion of waste licences, permits and exemptions.

ESP led a major energy management and recycling investigation at the former Aberthaw Power Station, characterising large stockpiles of Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) to assess their suitability for beneficial reuse.
We undertook an extensive sonic drilling programme, recovering continuous cores to depths of up to 35m across the deposit to enable detailed logging, sampling and material assessment.
We provided high-resolution geotechnical and geoenvironmental data to support CCR Energy’s evaluation of PFA as a recoverable resource, contributing to the sustainable repurposing of legacy industrial materials for future development.
We are proud to serve as a trusted partner for a diverse range of clients, delivering specialist geotechnical and geo-environmental expertise to the UK’s most ambitious projects.





We operate within a framework of professional memberships and industry-recognised accreditations, including ISO9001 and ISO 14001, ensuring that our technical delivery is consistently aligned with the highest standards of quality and governance.

Earth Science Partnership recently completed an independent geo-environmental review for us and I have been extremely impressed with both the quality of their work and the professionalism of the team. The report was comprehensive, balanced and technically robust, helping us navigate a complex evidence base and identify the key issues requiring further consideration. Just as importantly, ESP were approachable and willing to engage constructively with questions arising from the draft report. Special thanks to Daniel Thomas for his time, patience and willingness to explain technical matters in a way that non-specialists could understand. It was clear throughout that the focus was on objective, evidence-led analysis rather than simply telling a client what they wanted to hear. A highly professional consultancy and one I would most happily recommend. Simon Lewis : Secretary : Nant-Y-Calch Conservation GroupPosted on Google![]()

Earth Science Partnership has helped us immensely through a , long, stressful and complex situation following a major leak under our property. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Giles Sommerwill, who was with us every step of the way. He helped us to understand the geological conditions and ramifications following such a major leak, and then informed and advised us during the process of agreeing a remedial solution with the water company, as well as helping us address other issues that arose over time. Giles is experienced, knowledgeable and highly qualified. We could not have hoped to work with anyone more professional, reliable or kind. We also felt that Giles was genuinely concerned, not just about our property, but about our well-being. Thanks to him, we highly recommend, and praise, Earth Science Partnership.Posted on Google![]()

ESP undertook some thorough CMRA (Coal Mining Risk Assessment) works for our site. They showed a surprising level of knowledge into the historical mining methods and establishment of mining sites. Prompt and in-depth reporting and great communication, would definitely recommend.Posted on Google![]()
