From Small Beginnings …

Holequest was established as a specialist geotechnical contractor and incorporated as a company in 1974 with the purpose of undertaking ground investigation and associated geotechnical works.

We then expanded to provide private water supply systems and in later years geothermal heat recovery boreholes. Demand resulted in the provision of foundation services and solutions to geotechnical problems and so our portfolio expanded to include solutions to settlement, general remedial works and structural strengthening, ground anchoring and structural anchoring.

This naturally led to the provision of an all-in service to assist in resolving clients’ problems – covering investigation, design and construction of remedial and new works.
