Lankelma’s combination track truck thrust machine visited Liverpool, City of Culture, to undertake a site investigation for the proposed Kings Dock Waterfront Development. Unlike the adjacent and famous Albert Dock development, Kings Dock has been infilled with sand and silty sand and is now programmed for both residential and leisure development.
Cone penetration testing was selected as part of an integrated site investigation package to rapidly assess the thickness and quality of the sand infill deposits. Due to the presence of granular made ground deposits that extended to a depth of 1.5 metres, each CPT test location was broken out using hydraulic hand tools prior to penetration testing.
