Risk based remediation...

As part of their ongoing commitment to health and safety and environmental compliance, Raymond Brown Eco Bio Limited commissioned RLCL to investigate the cause and develop a practical design for the remediation of three shallow slips on the lower part of the southern slope at Rookery Farm Landfill, adjacent to the M27 motorway.

The cause of the slips and the mechanics of failure were thoroughly investigated through the examination of historical data, trial pitting, piezometer installation, materials testing and computer generated slope stability modelling. 

A detailed design and method statement for the remediation of the slips was developed on the basis of risk assessments to ensure that the slips could be remediated in a manner which did not pose an unacceptable risk to the public, the motorway, contractors or the surrounding environment. 

The slip remediation works were successfully completed in October 2003 by Raymond Brown Construction Limited.
