PLATE BEARING TEST SERVICE

It is routinely used in the design of temporary structures such as working platforms for piling rigs or pads for crane outriggers. 
Approximate equivalent CBR values can be derived from the Modulus of subgrade reaction by the use of empirical relationships.
The Plate Bearing Test is carried out in accordance with BS 1377 Part 9: 1990 and consists of loading a steel plate and recording the settlement corresponding to each load increment.
The Plate Bearing Test is normally carried out at the foundation level, either on the surface or in a shallow pit. Plates of varying sizes up to 720mm diameter are available. The loading plate is placed on the ground and connected via a load cell to a reaction load. Due to the larger size of the plate used (compared with a CBR test), this test is more suitable for testing larger aggregate backfills, however, it requires a larger reaction load. Typically, a minimum 15tonne tracked excavator or another suitable plant is required for us to use as a reaction load.
Our engineers will advise on the plate size required to match the design load and reaction load required (i.e. size of the excavator).
We can typically complete six tests in a day, subject to site conditions and can provide results the following day.

Coal Mining Risk Assessment

  The fundamental purposes of the coal mining risk assessment are to identify the risks of coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority is a legal consultant for any planning application within a High-Risk Zone. The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs. For more details kindly visit- https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/coal-mining-risk-assessment/

Ground Investigation

  All  Ground investigations  follow strict and well-defined health and safety methods.  A ground investigation analyzes the fundamental conditions of the proposed site. A ground Investigation survey consists of a three-step method to acquire absolute knowledge of the soil parameters, rock, and groundwater. All Ground investigations administer using firm and well-defined health and safety procedures. The ground investigation includes any landfill/soil gas problems, soil/groundwater contamination, mining site assessment, hydrogeology, slope stability assessment, or testing geotechnical conditions of a new building or a land-form.  To know more about the Ground investigation procedure, kindly visit:  https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/ground-investigation-services/ https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/conducting-site-investigations/
