BAA Heathrow T5 - investigation
Adequate site investigation is of fundamental importance to all
civil engineering works. It comprises desk study, site
reconnaissance, design and supervision of investigations and
interpretation of ground conditions for the proposed works.
Mott MacDonald manages around £3 million worth of ground
investigations in the UK per year, ranging from very small building
extensions to major projects. Many projects require an assessment
of potentially contaminative previous uses. We manage a variety of
investigations in support of our activities around the globe, three
of our recent overseas include:
Channel Tunnel Rail Link -
investigationMelen, Turkey – $4 million investigation of
200km of pipeline including a crossing of the Bosphorus- Das Island, UAE – geomorphological mapping of unstable cliffs
below a petrochemical works
- N6 Eire – 3 million Euro investigation of 50km highway
The diversity of skills amongst our staff allows us to provide real
insight into the likely behaviour of a wide range of ground and
groundwater conditions, and to add value through our understanding
of how these conditions will effect proposed works.
