Glanville can provide its clients with a site appraisal at various different stages of the development with a particular site.

Pre-Purchase

To identify unusual costs which may be associated wth a particular site

Feasibility

To explore the various foundation options to determine the most economical solution. This is most useful on Brownfield sites where contamination may be an issue

Foundation

However, a number of projects have required unusual solutions. Such as a multi-storey building over tube lines, which was supported on elastomerin bearings to isolate it from vibration transmission, and a cold store that was fully insulated from the ground, to stop ground heave caused by ground freezing.

Vibro

The practice has experience of designing all types of common foundations, such as:

  • Piled
  • Strip footings
  • Raft
  • Vibro Piling
