Bespoke sampling strategy for waste characterisation brings significant financial savings

A bespoke sampling strategy was designed to map the extent of hazardous soils around known areas of contamination at a former train depot and with these results a sampling grid was created, made up of cells, to provide the client an easy way of isolating and removing the affected areas.

Assessment of East London brownfield land to enable residential redevelopment

Site Assessments

Investigation of former car repair workshop site in East London residential street, supporting client in environmental and geotechnical aspects, as well as remedial cover system.

Geotechnical investigation into causes of structural damage of building at former dockland area

A geotechnical investigation into the potential in-ground causes of cracks in a building concluded the most likely culprit was the ground conditions. The building was found to be built on deep made ground which was too variable to be suitable for foundations.

Pointcloud acquisition survey of large site adjacent to flight restriction area of major airport

Aerial topo undertaken to provide geolocated base information for proposed housing development at feasibility and masterplan design stage at 70ha site located in FRA and RPZ of a major airport.

Time sensitive geotechnical investigation and design

Ground investigation turned up complex ground conditions but extensive CPD testing and 3D geotechnical modelling provided the required results.

Gas works: Risk assessment, Remediation and Materials Management Planning

A former gas works site was successfully approved for redeveloped into retirement apartments after multiple phases of investigations, monitoring and risk assessment proved that the required pile foundation work would not impact to the underlying sensitive groundwater resource.

3D Modelling of Proposed Lake Design - Informed by Aerial Survey to Support a Flood Risk Assessment

Aerial topographic survey undertaken to determine site level data for farm to support flood risk assessment associated with proposed development of a lake within a floodplain.

Stockpile Volumetrics - Aerial Survey and Cut/fill Modelling to support Construction Phase Earthworks Movement

Aerial survey on an active construction site to provide data on stockpile volumes and cut/fill volumetrics on a newly stripped earthworks area.

Ground investigation to help determine mechanisms for structural damage at industrial unit

Site investigation works at a light industrial warehouse unit provided enough assurance to allow the sale of the property to progress.

Detailed investigation of former pharmaceutical manufacturing site

A detailed site investigation at existing pharmaceutical manufacturing site to satisfy the expectations of a number of stakeholders involved in the sale/acquisition of the property.

Geo-environmental assessment of an urban extension

A feasibility assessment and a combined geo-environmental investigation of a large greenfield site earmarked for a housing development.

Pre-planning geo-environmental support for large mixed-use city centre development

A large scale geo-environmental site assessment undertaken for a client at pre-planning stage.

Former oil depot shown not to pose an environmental risk

Targeted investigation at former oil depot informed a groundwater risk assessment which successfully demonstrated the surrounding water environment was not at risk, avoiding a costly remediation scheme.

Geotechnical investigation at disused quarry using CPT

A geotechnical investigation at former quarry providing geotechnical information for appropriate foundation design.
