Site Investigation and Site Development Proposals

The open-endedness of the scheme is deliberate and intends to develop key Learning Outcomes as listed in 3) below, and in the Module Specification online.

Task 2.1
Carry out bearing capacity calculations for shallow foundations for the scheme, alongside calculations for deep and piled foundations, so that a comparison can be made of the relative dimensions of the shallow and piled foundation solutions.

Task 2.2
Determine an appropriate arrangement of ground improvement techniques to deal with the need for ground raising on site above the soft alluvial deposits and hence provide recommendations on how to engineer the roads, services and drains so that they remain in a serviceable state (focus on the geotechnical processes occurring in the soft alluvial deposits and hence provide detailed calculations to support your solution to deal with any expected ground movements). 

Task 2.3 
Outline the technical and practical problems likely to be experienced when implementing the solution to the ground problems at the given site. 

The Case Study is included in accompanying information. Very open ended assignment, however remediation techniques are to be discussed alongside suitable foundation designs and bearing capacity calculations specified to Eurocode.

No executive summary is required.

Please quote a fee for the work that is required in the tasks below. This involves calculations – there is no word count for this.
