GCL Conducts Ground Investigation at Millfield Prep School, Glastonbury
GCL is pleased to announce our recent ground investigation project at Millfield Prep School, Glastonbury, where we conducted dynamic sampling, plate bearing tests, and BRE 365 soakaway tests. These investigations will play a vital role in aiding the foundation design and surface water drainage solutions for upcoming construction work at the school. Our thorough approach ensures that the project will progress smoothly and that the site is well-prepared for future development.
The dynamic sampling carried out by GCL allowed us to assess the ground conditions and gather detailed information about the soil composition. This data is critical for determining the appropriate foundation design, ensuring that it is safe, stable, and suited to the specific conditions of the site at Millfield Prep School. Our BRE 365 soakaway tests further support surface water drainage planning, helping to manage stormwater and reduce the risk of flooding, which is essential in Glastonbury’s rainy climate.
Additionally, our plate bearing tests are particularly valuable for crane operators and other heavy construction equipment that will be used during the building phase. The results of these tests provide crucial data regarding the load-bearing capacity of the ground, ensuring safe and efficient operation of construction machinery on-site.
As part of our commitment to safety and quality, all GCL staff working on the Millfield Prep School project hold enhanced DBS checks. This ensures the highest level of security and trust while working in sensitive environments such as schools. GCL prides itself on maintaining industry-leading standards of safety, quality, and reliability in every project we undertake.
