NEW SOIL STABILISATION COURSE

We are very pleased to announce that we have a new course running in Chesterfield on 30 April 2019,  entitled ‘Theory and Practice of Lime and Cement Stabilisation’.  This ‘Level 3’ course is aimed at engineers and geologists with experience of earthworks wanting to expand their understanding and skills to include soil stabilisation.

The course will be delivered by one of our consultants, Dr Paul Beetham.  Paul has extensive experience of soil stabilisation working both for specialist contractors and as a consultant.  He has a professional doctorate in soil stabilisation and is an ICE appointed Panel Expert advising HS2 on soil stabilisation.

More details of the course can be found here. Just call or email us to make a booking!

SLOPE STABILITY COMMISSION EXTENDED

We are very pleased that following an initial review of slope stability issues below a proposed housing development on a confidential site, we have been appointed to undertake more extensive works.  This is to include a geomorphological study, assist with ground investigation design, and complete detailed stability assessments to support the development of the scheme design and programme.   Further details of the project will be released in due course.

If you need any support on slopes or earthworks projects on your developments then feel free to call our Dr Andy Goodwin to discuss how we could assist and add value.
