General information only

The content of this website describes our capabilities in general terms. It is not engineering, geoscience or other professional advice, it is not an offer to provide professional services, and it does not create a client relationship. Any work we do is governed only by a separate written agreement signed by AIM and the client, which sets out the scope of the work and who is responsible for it.
