Geotechnical & Contaminated Land Site Investigation

The LK Group was approached by My Property Survey Ltd to undertake a Phase 1 Preliminary Risk Assessment (PRA) and Phase 2 Site Investigation in Weybridge, Southwest London.

Our client required these investigations to support their refurbishment of an existing commercial building of predominantly residential use and the construction of a new five-storey residential apartment block to join the existing building.

What

Combined Geotechnical and Contaminated Land Site Investigation

Where

Weybridge, Southwest London

How long

4 weeks

Outcome

Enabled our client to progress detailed design works

THE SOLUTION

We carried out a PRA, including site walkover, to establish the anticipated ground conditions based upon which we would specify a suitable scope of ground investigation works.

The Phase 2 Site Investigation works comprised utility service scans, followed by window sample boreholes and dynamic probes to 10mbgl, to inform the design of foundations for the new build element. Analysis of soil samples was undertaken to inform our geotechnical, waste disposal and contamination assessment.

THE BENEFIT

We delivered our interpretative report with the necessary foundation design parameters, concrete classification, waste disposal classification and contamination risk assessment for our client to progress their detailed design works.
