Restricted Access Projects
Testing from a 22m boom
This project saw UK14 mounted on a long reach excavator from Land & Water. Testing was at the bases of a sloped quay wall and a vertical quay wall on the former site of St Anthony's tar plant.
Thames development
The crawler was loaded on to a landing craft at the south side of the river at low tide. At high tide the pontoons were sailed over to the north side where the crawler could be driven off 2hrs before lowtide and driven on 2 hrs past lowtide.
River at Gainsborough
Using seismic testing from the cantilever frame, an investigation of the river bed beneath a sheet pile wall to determine depth to rock head and position of the pile toe.
Woolacombe surf zone
An intertidal marine site investigation for an outfall extension project, using a subsea ROV crawler unit.
Railway bridge on the CTRL
An interesting challenge, there was no access in or out and the site was full of piles that could not be touched!
Sea Wall at Dymchurch, Kent
Lankelma's excavator mounted CPT unit could be accurately manoeuvred over cored positions on the sloped part of the sea wall. Our rubber tracked 15 tonne crawler carried out CPTs on the beach.
Platform 5, Victoria Station
Angled testing for soil conditions under a concrete column, performed over a trial pit.
Embankment dam at Pundeavon Reservoir
Difficult access to the crest of the embankment dam together with a maximum crest of 2.0 metres, demanded a highly manoeuvrable and lightweight CPT thrust machine.
Horizontal testing in the London Underground
CPTs were not required to be taken vertically down as usual but at a nearly horizontal incline through the sidewall of an underground tunnel. This was an interesting challenge that finally led to the development of UK10.
