Project overview
The Llanfyllin SPAR development aimed to deliver a modern retail space to serve the growing local community. JLL required a detailed ground investigation to inform the design and construction of the new retail unit, ensuring the site was ready for safe and efficient development.
Our approach
GIP was appointed to provide a comprehensive ground investigation that would deliver the necessary geotechnical and geo-environmental insights. Our services included:
- Site investigation and sampling – conducting trial pits, borehole drilling, and in-situ testing to evaluate the soil and ground conditions.
- Geo-environmental analysis – performing laboratory testing on soil and water samples to identify any contamination risks and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
- Geotechnical design recommendations – providing clear and practical recommendations for foundations, drainage, and earthworks to support the design process.
- Detailed reporting – delivering a comprehensive report with insights and design guidance to support a smooth planning and construction process.
Project challenges and solutions
The site’s previous use required a thorough assessment of potential ground risks, including historical contamination and drainage issues. Our in-depth analysis and tailored recommendations ensured that the client had a full understanding of the site’s conditions and could mitigate potential challenges early.
Results
Our expert ground investigation provided JLL with the data and insights they needed to move forward with confidence. The Llanfyllin SPAR development was completed on time and within budget, delivering a valuable retail space for the local community.
