JWH Ross Details
JWH Ross is the oldest Scottish company offering its services to the minerals sector, with a pratice history extending back to 1838. We hold the largest single collection of Mining Records in Scotland, with more than 10,000 detailed mining plans, thousands of mineral investigation reports and tens of thousands of mineral borehole records in our archive.Today we are principally involved in the legacy of past mining activity, where instability from shallow underground mine workings and mine entries can hinder the development of otherwise viable sites or affect the intregrity of existing properties. With our vast archive of geological and mining information, JWH Ross can provide detailed desk-based investigation of sites which may be affected by past mining. We also specialise in the design and procurement of site investigations where desk-based research indicates that further clarity is required, providing in-depth interpretation of borehole and excavation results to establish the best and most cost-effective solutions. Where investigations confirm that a mining instability situation exists, our team of geologists and mining engineers are experts in the design and monitoring of stabilisation works to ensure the future integrity of the development.As well as our mining expertise, JWH Ross have the capability and expertise to undertake desk and site based geotechnical and environmental assessments in order to address all aspects of ground risk and formulate the most effective and cost-efficient solutions.With a diverse client-base including government departments and agencies, local authorities, developers, service providers, consulting engineers, solicitors and private individuals, JWH Ross has the specialist ability to tackle all scales of project, from small residential developments to major infrastructure and commercial/residential schemes, always with the Client's interests at the forefront.
