Project Overview
Located in Manchester City Centre a short distance from Piccadilly railway station the development plans comprise the demolition of the existing building and the erection of a multi-storey residential scheme.
Phase 1 Preliminary Risk Assessment was required to support the planning application with ground investigation required within an active warehouse and service yard requiring liaison between the client, landowner and tenant to ensure the warehouse and service yard were able to operate while also providing the design information from which feasibility plans could be taken through to detailed designs.
The works were co-ordinated in a phased manner with all parties kept up to date on progress and changes throughout the ground investigation works which have been successfully completed. We are currently awaiting geotechnical laboratory results before producing the Interpretive Phase 2 Ground Investigation report.
The Challenge
There was a tight timeframe to complete the works
Our Solution
Boreholes were completed within the existing warehouse buildings prior to demolition works to enable detailed designs to be brought forward within the construction programme.
Added Value
• Fully Co-ordinated Ground Investigation
• Internal window sample boreholes
• Lighting & Ventilation provided for Health & Safety requirements
• Internal Geobore S Rotary Cored Water flush boreholes to 35m bgl
