We were commissioned to complete a geotechnical investigation to support the installation of temporary school accommodation. The works were carefully scheduled during the half term period to minimise disruption to staff and pupils.

The Challenge

The investigation required multiple survey and testing techniques to be completed within a single day, across an open grassed area surrounded by existing infrastructure and utilities. Managing this safely and efficiently within the tight timeframe was key to the project’s success.

The Solution

Our team carried out topographic and utility surveys to confirm existing site conditions before progressing with a series of boreholes for geotechnical testing. Soakaway and plate bearing tests were undertaken to assess infiltration rates and ground bearing capacity, while groundwater monitoring wells were installed to enable ongoing observation of seasonal water levels throughout the winter months.

The Outcome

All fieldwork was completed within one day by our experienced team Steve, Jordan and Ben, allowing the client to proceed with providing temporary accommodation within the Local Authorities program and schedule and with minimal site disruption.
