Igne Chester-le-Street geotechnical laboratory reference

Partially verified listing. The Chester-le-Street laboratory-visit narrative and current office contact are supported. Exact present test-building allocation, article date and local accreditation remain unresolved. Unit 25 and methods from other schedule laboratories are not assumed.

Igne

Igne’s current contact page lists its County Durham office at Unit 25, Stella Gill Industrial Estate, Pelton Fell, Chester-le-Street DH2 2RG. Its university-visit article explicitly describes a geotechnical laboratory tour at the Chester-le-Street office, including particle-size distribution, Atterberg limits and compaction, with specialist testing demonstrations. The article date is unresolved. UKAS 0126 issue 099, dated 7 September 2026, lists separate laboratories and Site activities but does not allocate those accredited laboratory methods to County Durham.

Key facts

Geotechnical laboratory-visit context
The owner’s Chester-le-Street office visit article describes laboratory particle-size distribution, Atterberg limits and compaction, and demonstrations of thermal conductivity, effective stress, shear box and permeability. It also discusses client test scheduling. The main article date and exact present test building remain unresolved.
Separate current schedule allocation
UKAS 0126 issue 099 lists laboratories at Aston Clinton, Barnsley, Bellshill, Daventry and Bristol, plus suitable Site activities. Its flexible method-transfer procedure applies only to listed accredited locations; County Durham is not allocated a laboratory method by these pages.
