Stratford City Olympic Village

Geoforte make a presence on the prestigious 2012 Olympics development site designing and installing Gabion and Reinforced Earth Retaining Structures in various locations.

Geoforte have recently started D&B retaining wall works on the Olympic Village site at Stratford City in London. The site is being prepared for the Olympic games in 2012 and there is a requirement for numerous earth retention structures throughout the development area. Geoforte are focused on reinforced earth modular block walls and steel mesh panel faced slopes in locations with restricted access and adjacent to live railway lines, as well as slate faced gabion gravity retaining structures alongside new highways and supporting amenity and car parking areas.

Rochester Castle, Kent

When an ancient stone retaining wall suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed over a weekend, Geoforte Ground Engineering where amongst the first specialist contractors on the scene at very short notice to provide a quick solution to the problem with the speedy design and installation of tensioned ground anchors and associated support works for English Heritage.

Supplemented by trench sheeting and shoring from structural steelwork columns on independent mass concrete footings, this temporary structure provided immediate support to the failed bank and prevented a higher terrace stone wall, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, from being further undermined and collapsing.

Geoforte have also put forward a permanent solution in the form of soil nailing and re-building the lower terrace failed masonry wall as a tie- back structure which will involve minimal excavation and reinstate the original aspect of this historic monument.

Whatever your requirements for soil stabilisation, foundations works and general ground engineering speak to a team that works to the highest standards. Contact us at Geoforte today for a full consultation and estimate on your stabilisation or piling project.
