Project Overview
This was a greenfield site situated on a man-made embankment, on which we had to carry out detailed geotechnical design to ensure that the ground could take the loading from the generation plant.
Proving the Ground
A number of existing services and easements were present across the site. We proved these using ground penetrating radar and trial pitting, establishing a safe system of work and enabling construction in accordance with the requirements of the end customer.
The embankment setting demanded careful geotechnical analysis to confirm that the made ground could safely support the foundations for the 7.5MW plant.
Another successful project designed and delivered in partnership with EPS Construction. All arisings were reused on site and 100% of our waste was recycled.
Sustainability
By reusing all excavated arisings on site and recycling 100% of the waste generated, we minimised both vehicle movements and the environmental footprint of the works — a standard we apply across our energy infrastructure projects.
Key Achievements
- Detailed geotechnical design for a made-ground embankment
- Existing services and easements proven and protected
- All arisings reused on site
- 100% of waste recycled
