Ground Engineering
“ Similarly , in the north east , we fulfilled a captivating heritage project within the grounds of Durham Castle earlier this year . The project involved addressing issues with the patio of the Norman Chapel , which happens to be the oldest building in Durham . It was discovered that the patio was causing damage to one of the historic walls . Collaborating with the main contractor , we designed a contiguous piled wall founded on sectional flight auger piles . This design not only met all access and load restrictions but also aligned with the project ’ s programme and design targets . The execution of this project presented unique challenges . The rig had to be cranelifted onto the access road before being tracked up to the site . Throughout the process , we operated under the constant supervision of archaeologists to ensure the preservation of historical artifacts . From both a design and operational perspective , this project was truly fascinating . It serves as an excellent example of how early engagement with us means we can design and tailor solutions that effectively address
site-specific restrictions and challenges and add value to the project as a whole ,” he adds .
