Ground Investigation for flood defences near Hull The Ground Investigation (GI) carried out by our geo-environmental engineers at Kingswood Parks provided detailed information to enable the redesign of flood defences and mitigation measures for a major residential development on the northern outskirts of Hull. The GI was planned in conjunction with other WYG services at the site including drainage and flood defence.
