SLOPE APPRAISAL SERVICES CONTINUE TO DEVELOP…..

Surepath has been commissioned to undertake a range of slope stability assessments across the UK recently by several different Clients. Though details are subject to confidentiality restrictions, the projects illustrate the breadth of expertise available to Clients generally. For example:

  • One project requires the appraisal of an existing road embankment over a culvert. It requires the integrated appraisal of the site, planned highway improvements and vegetation effects, with the aim being to secure adoption of the highway in due course.
  • At another site excavation works at a hard-rock quarry are potentially impacting on adjacent infrastructure. We are assisting the Client to appraise the effects.
  • At a third site, complex superficial geological conditions and flooding concerns have lead to design issues that we are helping to address in a review role.

We hope to be able to showcase these and other projects in more detail in due course.
