Land instability

Land instability is an issue throughout the Borough and we are currently investigating the instability issues affecting the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.




Stabilisation of Jiggers Bank using soil nailing techniques
Our work involves ground investigation, monitoring and stabilisation of the areas most severely affected.

An information pack has been sent to each household in the Gorge outlining the problems in the area and providing contact details in the case of an emergency.

Ground Investigation at The Lloyds, Ironbridge to assess the cause of land instability
In January 2005 our geotechnical consultants, High Point Rendel, produced a Ground Behaviour Study of Ironbridge & Coalbrookdale.
The main objective of the study is to provide general information and guidance on ground stability conditions throughout the Gorge.

Ironbridge Gorge Ground Behaviour Study Appendices:

An interpretive report was also produced at the same time. This report specifically looks at the ground investigations carried out at the Jackfield and The Lloyds areas of Ironbridge.
