Abstract: |
The work included monitoring and recording of five geotechnical boreholes and eight geotechnical trial pits. The boreholes successfully identified the stratigraphic sequence from ground surface to depths of 35m or 50m below ground level. The watching brief recorded the sequence to lesser depths, once the presence of in situ natural had clearly been established. Pleistocene (Ice Age) river gravels, alluvial deposits and marshland peats were recorded at various locations. The trial pits were excavated to a maximum depth of 4.2m below ground level. Deposits included re-deposited alluvium and gravels, soil/rubble and industrial waste; all associated with infilling of the site in the 1930's by the Southern Railway company |
