Austwel was appointed as the principal contractor for ground investigation works, partnering with AtkinsRéalis to analyse soil and rock core samples. This project focused on evaluating ground conditions in order to support our client in their decision-making process. Working alongside Geotechnical Engineering Limited, we carried out rotary drilling and dynamic sampling of boreholes to a depth of 5m using a drilling rig. Our team began with careful hand digging to 1.2m to ensure that there were no uncharted services, followed by drilling to collect core samples of soil and rock.
