Project overview
Redevelopment of a large former marine/industrial site into an energy-transition hub with heavy-duty working areas and upgraded waterfront to support future laydown, fabrication and logistics. The scope included extensive earthworks, platforms for plant/cranes, pavements for heavy trafficking, drainage improvements and materials management—delivered within an evolving programme and multi-party stakeholder environment.
My involvement (selected)
-
Site-based senior geotechnical input as part of the client’s technical advisory function, coordinating with contractor and designer teams.
-
Earthworks strategy and material re-use advice; review of inspection/test plans; compaction targets and QA interpretation.
-
Working platform and haul-route assessments (Eurocode 7 principles; UK guidance) with constructability checks for staged works.
-
Pavement concept/verification for heavy plant trafficking; settlement/performace risk notes and monitoring triggers.
-
Rapid technical notes for change control (e.g., platform thickness, materials substitution, wet-weather contingencies).
-
Interface management across geotechnical, civils and logistics—focusing on safe sequencing and access.
Outcome/impact
-
Enabled safe, efficient heavy plant movements and laydown in constrained areas.
-
Reduced import/export by prioritising viable on-site materials.
-
Clear QA/ITP trail supporting handover and future maintenance planning.
