Over recent months we have been working with a site investigation specialist to support a developer on the ground investigation for and geotechnical design inputs to the piled foundations for two large multi-storey buildings in Yorkshire.  Close liaison with the structural engineer is required to assess not just the pile capacity but also stiffness, prior to detailed design of the piles being undertaken by a piling contractor.  More details of the project will be released in due course so watch this space!
