CASE STUDIES (THE MOVIE)


Location: Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, UK - 1998
Client: LIDL
Main Contractor: HBG

Works Undertaken: The original specification for pavement construction in external parking areas was amended to allow for subsoil stabilisation to be used to treat suitable available soils to depths of 250mm and 350mm, to a specification equivalent to a capping material (i.e. with a 15% soaked CBR value, and frost resistance where appropriate, where the stabilised soils lay within the frost heave layer). Approximately 5600m3 of primarily clay, with some silty sand deposits, were treated in lieu of offsite removal of surplus spoil, and to replace imported capping material. The works were carried out over a period of 2 weeks, in April 1998.


Location: Dublin Airport Logistics Park - 2006
Client: Easons
Main Contractor: P J Walls Limited
Consulting Engineer: Ryan Associates, Dublin

Works Undertaken: Approximately 15,000m2 of treatment of underlying subgrade, to increase bearing potential, prior to placement of fill from cut/fill exercise; 2,000m3 of treatment to engineer foundation subgrade; 15,000m3 of engineered foundation fill, to provide a 5% CBR value; and 25,000m2 of soil treatment to produce a stabilised capping material (15% CBR).


Location: Dublin Airport Logistics Park - 2006
Client: Easons
Main Contractor: P J Walls Limited
Consulting Engineer: Ryan Associates, Dublin

Works Undertaken: Approximately 20,000m2 of treatment of underlying subgrade, to increase bearing potential, prior to placement of fill from cut/fill exercise; 8,000m3 of treatment to engineer foundation subgrade; 15,000m3 of engineered foundation fill, to provide a 5% CBR value; and 45,000m2 of soil treatment to produce a stabilised capping material (15% CBR).


Location: Lisburn, County Antrim - 2006
Client: Coca Cola
Main Contractor: P J Careys PLC
Consulting Engineer: Atkins, Dublin

Works Undertaken: Approximately 150,000m3 of treatment to engineer subsoils to increase allowable bearing pressures to 150kN/m2 (building footprint) and 80kN/m2 (external areas); and 100,000m2 of soil treatment, along with HEIC (High Energy Impact Compaction), to produce a stabilised capping material (15% CBR).
