Galliford Try
GeMech Foundations once again provided a solution for a difficult project in Ebbw Vale. The towns historic steel industry had left plenty of obstructions, making development difficult for many parts of the site. Galliford Try approached GeMech to carry out piling works through an old basement slab as part of a classroom extension. With the old slab left in-situ, GeMech cored through the basement past 6.0m of made ground, dealing with 25mm thick rebar and a slab varying in thickness, but up to 1.5m thick in multiple areas. Once coring operations had been completed, 30nr. 450mm diameter CFA piles were installed to depths up to 14.5m by our Comacchio CH450.
GeMech’s ability to provide this bespoke solution saved a costly exercise in removing the basement slab in its entirety, and once completed allowed quick follow-on construction of the pile caps and other foundations
