Our GRM team has returned to work this week with several clearly suffering from an overindulgence of Easter chocolate! However, the forecast of a spell of dry and warm weather has given them a noticeable spring in their step as they embark on a busy few weeks of field-based work on a wide range of client projects, including:
- Working on trial pits, window sampling and soakage testing at a school in the Greater Birmingham area (even though it is school holidays, all our engineers are DBS checked as we regularly work on school sites including during term-time).
- Earthworks supervision including foundations for a Tobermore retaining wall inspection in Staffordshire, vibrating wire piezometer and magnet extensometer monitoring on a project near Manchester, and ongoing site visits and testing to check compliance with the earthworks specification produced for a site in Northamptonshire (site levels being raised to facilitate residential development).
- Phase II site investigations for residential development in Amber Valley.
- Trial pits and soakage testing in Staffordshire.
- Ongoing gas and groundwater level monitoring on multiple sites including Staffordshire, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire.
- Groundwater sampling at multiple sites to inform the development requirements, foundation inspections and supervised dig and pours.
- Meeting with a client in Blackpool about a Materials Management Plan for their development site (re-use on site of origin).
