Miscellaneous
We have been involved with designing other forms of geotechnical structure including:
  • Earthworks
  • Spread foundations
  • Piled foundations
  • Soil nails
The first three categories are usually designed in accordance with BS EN1997-1:2004 ('Eurocode 7'). Soil nails are currently designed to BS8006-2:2011 with additional guidance from CIRIA C637. 

We have designed or checked the following:
  • Soil nails for stabilising a re-profiled railway cutting slope
  • Shallow spread foundations for a railway station building 
  • Vibrated Concrete Columns (VCC's) supporting a railway sidings embankment
  • Laterally loaded piles forming a King Post retaining wall
  • Micropiles to strengthen existing foundations to a railway bridge 
  • Slope stability analysis of railway cutting slopes for a bridge reconstruction project
  • Structural analysis of the effects on anchor piles supporting platform end impact walls at a railway station
  • Anchor Post foundations to support lightweight signalling structures on Transport for London rail lines 
  • Anchor Post foundation to support drilling rigs operating on sloping ground
