Tunnel & Cavern Mining Stability Assessment, Near Bath

Geoinvestigate provided specialist geotechnical mining services to a homeowner unable to sell because of Bath Stone working below the property dating back to 1909. 2 other geotechnical firms unaware that access was still available to the cavern quoted for multiple hole percussion air hammer drilling 5 x more expensive than Geoinvestigate’s quote to enter, inspect and assess the workings avoiding the unnecessary damage drilling would have done. Hand saws were used by miners to cut blocks from the bench as the face advanced leaving smooth planar side walls lower down.
