Near Surface Geophysical Surveys for
Archaeology, Engineering, Utility Mapping and Forensic Investigations
"providing practical solutions to detecting what lies underground"
Stratascan Ltd is a geophysical contracting company working mainly in archaeology and engineering. Since our establishment in 1990 we have built a reputation as one of the leaders in near surface geophysics with applications in archaeological prospection, engineering and environmental assessments of green and brown field sites, underground utility mapping, and forensic geophysics.
At the end of June 2011 Stratascan became a member of the SUMO group widening our portfolio of services that we offer to include topographic and measured building survey.
Our offices are centrally based within the U.K. close to the attractive riverside town of Upton-upon-Severn in South Worcestershire. This allows easy access to all areas of England and Wales via the motorway network. The company operates from a converted barn set within a vineyard. This forms an attractive setting for the collation and interpretation of all the data gathered in the field.
Our knowledgeable and experienced staff has been drawn together from archaeological, engineering and geological backgrounds to form a team of specialists that can respond to the diverse requirements of site investigation.
We are currently looking for temporary staff. If interested please send your CV to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Stratascan celebrate 20 years
Stratascan started trading at the end of 1990 when it wasn't much more than one man (Peter Barker) and a dog (Bonnie). The photograph above, dug out of our archive, shows Bonnie assisting with a survey at Stafford Castle in February 1991. Things have progressed a little since then with a bit more help to get things done.
We had a meal in Malvern to celebrate 20 years when 14 staff braved the weather to get to the restaurant. A jolly evening was had by all - mainly because it was too noisy for them to hear Peter's war stories.
