Geoforte provide exceptional ground stabilisation, ground engineering and retaining structures services on construction projects across the UK
Project name: Emergency Call out at Rochester Castle
Project Location: Rochester, 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.
