SCDC Stabilisation Works
Key Features
This project was delivered on behalf of South Cambridgeshire District Council who own approximately 5500 properties across the district.
The council had identified properties that had experienced structural subsidence and ground shrinkage.
We were required to carry out ground stabilisation, structural support and in some cases the jacking up of structural walls.
This includes providing an insurance backed guarantee including a certificate of structural adequacy, ground testing including soil analysis and geotechnical review, design plan for treatment, drainage surveys and monitoring, Geopolymer injection treatment to approved plans, and any required remediation.
This contract is for the initial work, with the option to extend each and every year up to a total of four years based on our continued performance.
Challenges and Solutions
For speed, efficiency, and minimal disruption to neighbouring properties and the environment a Geopolymer injection system was used.
The properties were occupied meaning that coordination to arrange surveys and testing was highly important.
Works were delivered with residents in situ where possible.
In some instances the works were highly invasive which required residents moving to empty neighbouring properties.
