Lidl Retail Store - Geo-environmental Services
Lidl selected our team to deliver a range of geo-environmental services to support them in the planning process and construction phase of a new 2,100-square-metre store.
The site’s industrial and coal mining heritage made this a complex project. We undertook a ground investigation, remediation strategy, verification report, and materials management plan, which were vital in securing planning permission and producing a viable detailed design.
Our ground investigations allowed for preliminary foundation recommendations, informing our remediation design and materials management plan. We investigated the presence of shallow mine workings and shafts. This exploratory work enabled mine stabilisation and capping of the shafts to be completed.
By implementing a strategic materials management plan, we enabled 100 percent of site-won soils to be re-used at the site, rather than being taken to landfill. As well as significant cost savings, this reduced the volume of imported materials, leading to reduced vehicle traffic and carbon impact, contributing to the overall sustainability of the scheme.
