Remediation
DXI constructed building development platforms for our Client in Blackburn on land that contained poor quality soils, on a steeply sloping site.
Following an initial activity to access the site with the construction of a temporary access road, a sequence of cut to fill operations were completed, to provide a series of development platforms.
The existing moisture content of both the existing soils and other imported soils was found to exceed the compliance level and as a result was modified using lime, and the soil re-engineered to an exacting specification.
The platforms were then capped to provide a suitable base for piling access.
The development also required a concrete retaining wall to be installed. DXI developed and installed a precast system that offered both programme and cost advantages to the Client.
