commercial buildings and premises , to big infrastructure projects such as reservoir embankment improvements , mining , and seawalls . One complex project , which we undertook in 2021 , involved the erosion control of the soil beneath the wall separating a private road from a stream . The road , crucial for local residences , faced a significant structural threat and was fixed using advanced geopolymer technology , injected into the subsiding void .”
Environmental consideration
The company is adept at using the latest advances in technology to overcome industrywide challenges , as Tom affirms : “ Nowadays , we are facing a common issue with hotter , drier summers . According to The Met Office , the outlook for 2025 suggests that it is likely to be one of the three warmest years for global average temperature , falling in line just behind 2024 and 2023 . Already this is having an impact on the quantity of water in our soil , which is quickly absorbed by tree roots and vegetation , causing significant clay shrinkage . When this occurs , the ground foundations begin to shrink , and any neighbouring structures are at a high risk of subsidence and structural damage .
