Piezocone CPT soundings were performed to assess the ground conditions ahead of flood defence construction for the protection of a new housing development.
Working in an intertidal environment for the Borth Coastal Protection project, our track-truck carried out CPTs on the beach investigating the nearshore geology.
Lankelma performed combined piezocone and magnetometer tests on the flood embankments at Hythe and Lydd MOD firing ranges for investigation into the flood defences.
The magnetometer cone was used to clear the London site for UXO ahead of other intrusive site activities.
The cantilever frame coupled with our mobile rams performed UXO clearance and CPT soundings of the bedding beneath the River Thames as part of London’s new sewage work developments.
Lankelma carried out a UXO investigation at the Chobham Manor site adjacent to the Olympic Park ahead of piling for a new housing development.
Lankelma developed a constant energy source to enable seismic shear wave damping analysis required for the track bed design of HS2 high speed rail.
Lankelma’s cantilever frame was utilised to carry out cone penetration testing up to 2m from a quay wall.
Canadian gold mining company Agnico Eagle Mines instructed Lankelma to carry out a specialist ground investigation in Finland.
Lankelma carried out its deepest seismic sounding at Grangemouth Refinery as part works for the FREON replacement scheme.
Our Membrane Interface Probe (MIP) was used to assess contamination in Stratford prior to large development works.
The video cone was ideal for use in identifying a potential ‘geological anomaly’ beneath a London sewer.
Lankelma’s lubrication module was successfully trialled at Wembley Park allowing for deeper CPT penetration in stiff clays.
Lankelma’s road-rail truck completed several CPTs and installed a vibrating wire piezometer within the four-foot as part of a rail stabilisation project.
The 2014 winter weather resulted in landslips on a railway embankment which called for rapid mobilisation of Lankelma’s CPT rigs to evaluate the ground conditions.
A project to increase storage capacity of a rockfill dam called for Lankelma to mobilise a short notice to carry out CPTs in Mauritius.
The mini crawler was ideal for testing inside a warehouse where access and working area was restricted.
Working in a low headroom car park, CPT was performed with the lubrication module to provide an indication of the depth to base of the London Clay.
Mobile rams performed horizontal CPTs at Finsbury Park Station as part of a structural survey investigation to improve disabled access into the station.
Our minicrawler rig was perfect for testing in the urban gardens of London.
As part of the £100 million Boston Barrier project, Lankelma were instructed to carry out overwater and onland site investigations.
Lankelma carried out multi-disciplinary geotechnical and geophysical investigations for a jetty extension, construction of a new bauxite-handling jetty and dredging of an approach channel at a Container Terminal in Guinea.
Lankelma provided nearshore CPT and drilling services for the safe positioning of production platforms in the Gulf of Guinea.
Lankelma, working for Lam Geotechnics, carried out seabed CPTs for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau (HKZM) Bridge, China’s first major combined bridge and tunnel sea crossing.
Lankelma’s nearshore jack-up platform, Sandpiper, completed a detailed ground investigation across Lake Maracaibo for the construction of a new 10.8km road and rail crossing.
Canadian gold mining company Agnico Eagle Mines instructed Lankelma to carry out a specialist ground investigation in Finland.
Lankelma was instructed to review CPT and dissipation data from a third party ground investigation in Iraq.
A new CPT technique was trialled to improve the design of piles subject to cyclic loading in chalk – such as those supporting wind turbines.
