‘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).

Site Investigation

Site investigation is a procedure guided by strong and well-defined security practices, with site-specific objective statements and risk assessments provided. A site investigation is the initial stage in establishing an on-site investigation service. Subsurface site investigations are essential to the site's Geo-Environmental status report. It addresses any landfill/gas issue. Earth Environmental has extensive experience in geotechnical, mining, and environmental site inspections.

Flood Risk Assessment

The term " flood risk assessment " (FRA) refers to a process that identifies the potential causes, severity, and necessary mitigation measures for floods. Flood zones 1–3 defined the strategic flood risk assessment. The scope and parameters of the flood risk assessment will depend on the development site's area and terrain. Flood Risk Assessments are conducted for a variety of places in order to meet local planning requirements and to follow the advice and guidance of the Environment Agency and the National Planning Policy Framework.

Phase 1 Desk Study

A phase 1 desk study 's primary purpose is to detect possible dangers and a lack of safety measures on the construction site. The Phase 1 desk study yields a comprehensive report which details every aspect of the research process. Each phase 1 desk research report includes a walkover survey of the site. Site examination built with existing data on the site's ecology, geology, hydrogeology, and mining frameworks. To learn more, visit http s://www.earthenvironmental.co.uk/phase-1-desk-study/ .
