At the time, the honest answer was no. Not because the question wasn't important. Quite the opposite. The presence of tunnels, underpasses
When we were developing GeoScreen, we weren't trying to replace the traditional consultancy model. We were trying to address the gaps it can't economically service — the situations where good ground risk work was either too slow to arrive, too expensive to justify, or simply not viable at the scale or speed a project demanded.
If you've worked in ground engineering or development for any length of time, you'll be familiar with the phased approach to site investigation. It's one of the most well-established principles in geotechnical practice: build knowledge progressively, let each stage inform the next, and don't commission intrusive investigation until you understand what you're looking for.

Ground risk is one of the most underestimated challenges in property development. When we first wrote about this back in June, GeoScreen screened for nine geohazards, across England only. Since then the platform has grown: two further geohazards have been added — surface water flood risk and aggressive ground conditions — a separate Source Protection
