Abstract: |
Groundworks in advance of a memorial monument included the removal of trees, the diversion of services and pile probing. The monitoring of the pile probing encountered natural gravels beneath modern made ground in the area in the park next to the pavement. Observation on the tree removal showed that no deposits other than recent made ground were disturbed. All new service runs lay within previously excavated service runs; in the case of gas main, this was up to 2m deep. Following work in 2011, observations in two soakaways to the south of the memorial found undisturbed natural gravel beneath modern topsoil. |
