Aerial photographic interpretation was
undertaken on a number of slopes
within Lancashire. This information proved useful in determining the positions
of a pre-existing slope failure and a culvert which had collapsed, both in
heavily vegetated areas. |
OTHER EXPERIENCE relating to Railways, from non-3J projects, includes
studies of embankment stability in Coventry, Arkholme and Bentham. Foundations have been designed for a number of Bridges that were either being
renovated, upgraded or re-built.
Other major project work includes a feasibility
study into the construction of an underbridge below railway line close to
Alderley Edge, in Cheshire, for the proposed A34 Bypass. This ground conditions
comprised varved and interbedded clay and sand. Here in addition to stability analyses and foundation design the practical aspects of
installing a bentonite-cement cut-off wall were investigated and the likely
groundwater
flow into the drainage system determined.
