DEVELOPMENT OVER A FORMER LANDFILL

We are currently assisting a large developer with their planning and design of a housing scheme on a former landfill in the East Midlands.  The work initially involved critically reviewing designs prepared by others for foundations, highways and drainage, to identify issues and constraints that needed further consideration.  Preparation of an earthworks specification for a thick engineered crust to form the development platform is now underway, with others looking at the piling aspects.
