We recently completed a ground investigation where we were required to undertake 5m boreholes in the basement of an old nightclub in Surrey. The headroom in the basement was 2.65m and access was via a number of tight corridors and stairs. Ventilation within the basement was poor so electrical drilling equipment was required. We also undertook BRE365 soakaway testing on site, in-situ CBR testing in the adjacent car park and hand dug foundation inspection pits against the outside of the building...

Working as engineering geologists we never really know where the next site will be. Some are grotty city centre sites with fly-tipped rubbish and limited access, but we really hit the jackpot recently with this site in the Cotswolds.

The Northampton Sand Formation and Marlstone Rock Bed are two Middle Jurassic geological formations that were laid down when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and the Midlands area was underneath shallow sub-tropical warm seas with a fluctuating sea-level. As a consequence, these two rock formations were formed and are rich in iron ore which was open cast mined in the 19th and 20th Centuries, leaving large areas of Northamptonshire with problem sites for developers.

We find the benefits of the TRL DCP (over the more traditional in-situ tests) are; firstly, its speed and relative cost. Many tests can be undertaken over a short period of time with limited man power. Secondly, when plotting the results cumulatively rather than per blow, you can clearly see differing layers within the sub-grade that are missed when undertaking a standard in-situ CBR test or plate bearing tests.
