Ground

Ground investigation and monitoring

Most ground problems show in one place and start in another. We survey the ground before we treat it, to find the wet, soft or hollow zones that explain what is happening at the surface, and survey it again afterwards to measure the change.

When to call us

The signs

  • Settlement with no obvious cause.
  • Planning a grouting or stabilisation job.
  • Proving the result of a treatment to an owner.
  • Watching an active slope or a structure that is moving.
Surveying the ground under a trackLong section of a track and its formation. ERT electrodes, MASW geophones with a hammer source and a GPR cart run along the surface; below, a wet, soft zone and a void show up; a borehole, a piezometer and an inclinometer confirm and monitor it. 1234567
  1. Note 1: ERT electrodes map wet, low-resistivity ground.
  2. Note 2: MASW geophones and a hammer source map shear-wave velocity: how stiff the ground is.
  3. Note 3: GPR finds voids and layer changes close to the surface.
  4. Note 4: The weak, wet zone under the track shows up in both surveys.
  5. Note 5: Boreholes and laboratory tests confirm what the surveys show.
  6. Note 6: Piezometers and inclinometers watch water pressure and movement.
  7. Note 7: The survey is repeated after treatment to measure the change.

How we do it

Method, step by step

  1. ERT

    Electrical resistivity tomography maps wet, low-resistivity ground and water paths.

  2. MASW

    Multichannel analysis of surface waves maps shear-wave velocity, a direct measure of stiffness.

  3. GPR

    Ground-penetrating radar finds voids and layer changes near the surface.

  4. Boreholes and laboratory tests

    Confirm what the surveys show and give design values.

  5. Monitoring

    Piezometers, inclinometers and movement monitoring.

  6. Repeat after treatment

    The same survey repeated to measure the change.

What we use

Instruments, not grout

Surveys are carried out with our own engineers and instruments, before and after treatment.

Quality

Checks and proof

  • Survey lines and depths set for the question being asked.
  • The same lines repeated after treatment, for a like-for-like comparison.

Questions

What clients ask

Why survey after the treatment as well as before?

Because grout take tells you what went into the ground, not what changed. On T-46 P2 a second MASW survey after grouting confirmed the gain in ground stiffness.

Which survey do I need?

It depends on the question: ERT for water, MASW for stiffness, GPR for voids near the surface. Two are often combined. On T-46 P2, MASW showed low-stiffness zones exactly where the settlement was greatest.
