Plate Bearing Tests for Wind Farms

, , ,
Plate bearing tests also known as Plate Loading Tests are required for wind farms to establish the load bearing capacity of the ground and the anticipated settlement beneath the load. The Plate Bearing Tests are required at the early stage of the wind farm development as part of the planning and method statement. The plate bearing tests are required to sign off the lifting plans and ensure that the ground conditions for construction and installation of the wind farm are to safety standards.

Development of Brownfield Land

What are Brownfield Sites?

Most of the land that was once used for industry in this country laid redundant for many years. But where demand for residential and commercial property is high, and available green spaces are low, brownfield sites have become an increasingly popular development opportunity. Brownfield land is seen as a great development option and everyone is keen to see brownfield sites brought back to life.  Contact us for Geotechnical Site Investigation Services.

Radon Monitoring of School Grounds

Radon Monitoring in Bristol

, , ,
Large parts of Bristol and the surrounding area are in High Risk zones for radon levels. Radon Monitoring and detection is an essential assessment required in risk areas throughout the UK. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical recently worked with a School in Bristol using MARKUS 10 instruments that allows for in-situ measurement of radon gas in soils. The Markus 10 can provide a clear understanding of the radon levels in the soil of your School site and can quickly allow for an informed decision whether the site requires radon mitigation measures.
