Ground Remediation

Scope Civil and Drainage were approached by Contract Construction to undertake demolition, excavation, ground stabilization and drainage works. The ground stabilization involved the construction of a large cement reinforced gravel raft. Construction materials were subject to rigorous lab testing prior to; and site field-tests during construction. On site, our construction methodology was the key to achieving the high standard of performance required by the site Engineers. Materials and systems were continuously performance tested and sampled to ensure quality was maintained.

During excavation for the gravel raft, buried asbestos and an artisan well were discovered. Our previous experience in dealing with both of these issues allowed us to deal with the situation quickly and efficiently thus maintaining our programme and meeting our deadlines.

Replacement of earthquake damaged retaining walls in Mt Pleasant:
Initially all walls were designed as timber however shallow rock not previously detected instigated a design change for the main wall. The wall is designed to retain the driveway and single garage and also provides the main access into the proposed new dwelling. The significant reinforced concrete is cast upon a compacted gravel raft taken to the bedrock.
