Van Elle’s Geotechnical Division were selected to carry out Ground Investigation to enable the design of foundations, earthworks and roadways, and to also investigate for the presence of former mine workings and any issues with ground stability near to mine workings. Major pipeline routes also passed close to the work areas, therefore utility clearance searches were done to ensure that they were clear of known service
