‘THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS’ AFTER GROUND COLLAPSE IN CHESTERFIELD

‘THOROUGH INVESTIGATIONS’ AFTER GROUND COLLAPSE IN CHESTERFIELD | Hi-press

Another Mineshaft collapsed this month in Chesterfield, highlighting the dangers of historic coal mining activity. The hole appears to be a former mine shaft that collapsed in the undergrowth to the left of the second hole at Chesterfield Golf Club.

“The hole measures around 3m at the surface and its depth extend beyond sight even with the use of a torch.”

Each year an average of 15 mine shafts collapse in the UK, roads have been damaged, causing disruption, and buildings destroyed. Luckily the Chesterfield Golf Club collapse was in an area where golfers would not be playing.

This collapse once again highlights historic coal mining activity can be a real risk to developments, and having a clear understanding of the ground conditions of your development is essential.

A Coal Mining Risk Assessment’s aim is to identify site-specific coal mining risks. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical assist developers at any stage of a project, from coal mining risk assessments and site investigations through to remediation works (e.g. drill and grouting).

Basement Impact Assessment

Basement impact is a condition when groundwater starts moving through the soil. It starts affecting land and property conditions. A Basement impact assessment evaluates risks of slope stability problems. It includes a phase 1 desk study to confirm the site's history, explores hydro-geological conditions and surface flood risk. The basement impact assessment takes care of the geological and hydro-geological conditions of the area and other potential risks such as drainage, flooding, groundwater quality. Basement assessment can add valuable space to your property or development. But ensure that the proposed basement development is appropriate. Earth Environmental & Geotechnical's team prepare a BIA report to support your planning application. For more details, kindly visit: https://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/basement-impact-assessment/

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.
