It seems the Romans know how to build Temporary Works that last! See the description for details.....
Even when on holiday I can’t get away from Geotechnics! A fascinating 2000 year old example of reinforced soil – the siege ramp up to the desert stronghold of Masada overlooking the Dead Sea. Built by the Romans around A.D. 70 during the siege of the fortified stronghold, this siege ramp comprises vertical and horizontal timbers (tamarind and date palm have been identified) as reinforcement in the placed soil ramp. Given that it was only ‘temporary works’ required for the duration of the siege, it is remarkable that it has remained largely intact to this day. The ends of the horizontal reinforcing timbers can still be seen in the side slopes of the ramp. The logistics and program management behind this temporary structure were also remarkable. The timber would have been imported from many miles away as the desert location was not a good source of trees!!

Thought for the day: As humans we often want QUICK, CHEAP with QUALITY – this is the unattainable triangle! If we want QUICK either COSTS will go up or QUALITY will go down – anything else is impossible.

This all looks idyllic until you realise it’s the toe of a very large #landslide complex to the south of #Totland Bay, Isle of Wight. Fortunately no properties close by affected. #civilengineering #landslip #geotechnics #geotechnicalengineering

We are pleased to report that #piling stabilisation work will be starting on one of our projects next week. The house, which still retains its 18th Century elements, has been under threat of land sliding from the hillside below.

A nice example of faulting beneath a site we have recently visited affecting sea cliffs in the Lower/Middle Purbeck limestone. #geotechnicaldesign #geotechnicalengineering #leavethrgroundtous

We have been involved in another challenging new #development which involves evaluation of a large historic #landslip. The challenge – how to frame the development so that the inherent hillside stability is not compromised? #geotechnicalengineering

We are excited to be part of the @GE_magazine Awards 2022. Our Technical Director, Dan Simpson has finished the first stage of online judging and is looking forward to meeting the finalists as part of the next stage of judging in July. Best of luck to all those who entered.

We came across an interesting feature whilst inspecting a building subject to ground movement. It seems that the bottom half of these steps have moved off down hill a fair way since they were built! #landslides

Load transfer and other arching effects are mechanisms frequently met in #geotechnical #engineering – particularly with granular materials – captured perfectly here in this peppercorn mill!!

A good example of a Eurocode 7 STR failure where ‘the strength of structural materials is significant in providing resistance’ EC7 Clause 2.4.7.1 (1). r in this case where the strength of the structural materials i.e.the masonry wall were insufficient to resist the forces applied

An interesting Isle of Wight development site where the potential impact of #landslide displaced Upper Greensand blocks needs to be considered. Living with the effects of historic land sliding certainly provides interesting #engineering challenges.

A sobering reminder that great care is always required when using construction equipment. It is not only in the working platform design but understanding the forces construction plant, such as cranes & piling rigs exert on the ground. constructionenquirer.com/202…

Illustrating the power of drone technology to get a holistic view of a site. From just a 15 minute drone flight we could get additional information, including accurate 2D & 3D models to add value to our design and execution planning for implementation of remedial works.#landslide
