Groundworks Stages
STAGE 1 – GROUND INVESTIGATION
Because no two sites & circumstances are alike, & as a legal requirement our initial task is to carry out a ground investigation. This enables us to identify any important considerations such as previous use of the land, & general stability, which can affect how we might move forward.
STAGE 2 – SITE CLEARANCE
Next the site is cleared including the removal of any top soil where appropriate. In the case of sloping areas we level the land to provide a consistent surface, if & as required.
If needed this can include demolishing any existing structures, & preparing the site through the removal of any vegetation that may inhibit access or construction progress.
Retaining walls can be set up to provide level development platforms.
STAGE 3 – STRUCTURE & GROUND STABILIZATION
The structure & ground stabilization stage relates to the work carried out below the underside of any screed. In cases where screed isn’t present, this would relate to the underside of the lowest floor finishes & would include the damp-proof membrane along with relevant excavation & foundations. This would include basements & retaining walls.
Our related services that can be commissioned as part of this stage include setting up of permanent or temporary drainage along with additional utility connections, & shaft sinking requirements.
In preparation for any construction work we can provide sewers & an attenuation system where required.
