When we say groundworks, we’re talking about the process we use to ready sub-surfaces for construction. It is among the first stages of a project. There are various elements to it, some of which we are going to discuss here.
Investigation
First, we have the ground investigation. We conduct one of these inquiries to aid us in identifying potential issues and previous land uses. Most local authorities consider it a legal requirement. Even if there’s no demand for it, performing one is still good practice. The data is useful and ensures effective design. We can also consider the complications or defects that could pop up.
Site clearance
Clearing sites is another important part of groundworks. It’s one of the initial preparatory works that you must complete. You need to clean the site and take up the topsoil from the structure’s footprint. The lay of the land shall determine the depth you work at. If the site you’re operating on is sloping, you might not have to level the ground. Sometimes, you may need to construct retaining walls. Therefore you can create level development platforms.
At SO Groundworks, we have a fully qualified NRSWA and CSCS registered team. Since we work together with numerous experienced trades, including the building contractor, we can provide a degree of flexibility that others can’t. The list of things we are capable of will most definitely surprise you.
