Ongoing CPD & Accreditations
We have successfully renewed our RISQS qualification. This allows Northpoint to continue to provide expert geotechnical consultancy and ground investigation services on railway land.
We have maintained our Contructionline Gold standard. Updates include the implementation of our COVID-19 Safety Policy. This extends to both office and site operations.
Our engineering teams have renewed Professionally Qualified Person’s status through CSCS.
Approved Suppliers List

In the Months Ahead
If 2020 hasn’t been strange enough, we move into months of uncharted waters with the close of the Brexit transition period and a second wave of COVID-19. As an organisation, we remain optimistic and can see at first hand that our industry shows little sign of slowing down. We are already involved with a number of projects which will progress well into the new year.
On a final note, we wish all of our clients and contacts well in the months ahead, and hope that you all remain safe.
