THE GRAND UNION CANAL PROJECT
CLIENT TYPE:
Soils Limited provided comprehensive site investigation works, and contaminated land consultancy through the RMS and GGRAs for EQUANS and ahead of an ambitious redevelopment of a mixed-use industrial site on the Grand Union Canal in Hayes.
The site was acquired by Greystar, with plans drawn up for a 407 unit build-to-rent scheme. We conducted global stability assessments of the existing canal wall and advised on targeted investigation works.

THE HENRY MOORE PROJECT
CLIENT TYPE:
A really rewarding project to work on, with the Soils Limited team providing a site investigation, geotechnical reporting and contamination assessment for the development of a new learning hub at the Henry Moore Foundation's headquarters in Perry Green, Hertfordshire.
DSDHA’s architectural design will see the extension of the Sheep Field Barn Gallery, which was built more than 20 years ago on the rural site. It will be a fully timber extension to the already existing steel portal shed structure. The structural engineering work will be carried out by Webb Yates.
The £2.5m project will deliver new learning and engagement facilities for the Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, which receives around 2,000 school student visitors every year and holds a range of workshops, talks and tours.

THE NOSS-ON-DART MARINA PROJECT
CLIENT TYPE:
Situated on a picturesque stretch of the River Dart in Devon, Noss-on-Dart Marina has undergone an ambitious regeneration plan following its acquisition by Premier Marinas. Early phases comprised a dredging campaign, new berths, land reclamation and the construction of a new sea wall. This was followed by an extensive multi-phase development plan to bring high-quality office and commercial space to the marina. Subsequent phases will see the construction of a boutique hotel and a 44-unit residential building.
Soils Limited has been working at the site since 2017, providing a comprehensive range of site investigation, and geotechnical and geo-environmental consultancy. Our services have included Materials Management Plans, Discovery Strategies, Soil Stabilisation, Site Investigations, CPTs, Plate Load Testing, and overwater boreholes. The range and duration of work are a testament to Soils Limited’s adaptability, pragmatism, and range of expertise.
We are proud to have supported Premier in this ambitious redevelopment, bringing first-class facilities to a beautiful stretch of river in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
THE HARLOW PROJECT
CLIENT TYPE:
Working for Essex Highways and Ringway Jacobs, the Harlow project saw Soils Limited undertake a complex multi-stage site investigation using intrusive and geophysical techniques to analyse the ground conditions as well as generating a comprehensive map of buried utilities.
Our team completed the work on a tight schedule, working a mix of day and night shifts to deliver on time and on budget, demonstrating our ability to produce first-rate work on the scale required for public infrastructure projects.
THE NORTH QUAY PROJECT
CLIENT TYPE:
North Quay is a special scheme. Truly transformative for the town of Hayle and another major investment in Cornwall.
We are proud to have worked alongside WSP and Corinthian on this landmark project, helping them develop a site investigation and understand the ground beneath the site. We’re looking forward to engaging on subsequent phases, not to mention another opportunity to soak up the amazing views of the estuary.

THE RNLI PENLEE PROJECT
CLIENT TYPE:
The RNLI Penlee Project involved providing ground condition information to the client and its designers, while dealing with a busy shipping port, ahead of the construction of a new lifeboat station. Working with partners Marbas and Symons Construction, Soils Limited provided a foundation scheme for development that was appropriate to the settings present on the RNLI Penlee site. Works were complex due to drilling through a sea wall comprising granite rock and concrete, which was overlying very soft Marine Beach Deposits and a bedrock of the Mylor Slate Formation.
A series of in-situ and laboratory tests were undertaken to inform pile and pavement design for the proposed structure including SPTs, CBR probes, Atterberg test, PSD and sulphate and chloride tests.
