Structural Void Filling the Sea Wall at Dovercourt

Structural Void Filling Behind the Sea Wall at Dovercourt Background The sea defence at Dovercourt, spanning approximately 300 metres, is formed of concrete blocks that have experienced structural failures over time. Persistent water ingress and washout have led to the formation of voids behind the wall, undermining its stability. Despite regular patch repairs, these voids […]

Ground Improvement on a major A road

Background A section of a busy dual carriageway, near a town in the south of England experienced ground instability, leading to subsidence and voids beneath the carriageway. The client required a comprehensive ground improvement plan to address these issues that were identified using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) tests. A solution […]

Chorley Tunnel Slab Track Lifting

A section of track at Chorley Tunnel in the northwest of England was subject to line speed restrictions due to subsidence. The section in question was at the end of the slab track running through the Chorley Tunnel, a line notable for its electrification scheme in the previous decade. The subsidence was caused by a […]

Rail Ballast Binding

Background The Glenn Douglas railway section, adjacent to a loch with a steep embankment, relied on a King Post retaining wall to hold the ballast in place. Over time, the wooden sleepers forming this wall deteriorated, leading to gaps that caused the ballast to erode down the embankment, jeopardizing track stability. Problem The primary issue […]
