Land instability

Our work involves ground investigation, monitoring and stabilisation of the areas most severely affected by land instability issues.

Download the information pack which outlines the problems in the area (.pdf Size: 4132Kb) , this pack has been sent to each household within the Ironbridge Gorge alongside contact details in case of an emergency.

In January 2005 our geotechnical consultants, High Point Rendel, produced the following report:

In December 2008 our geotechnical consultants Jacobs undertook a geomorphological mapping exercise of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site (WHS) to cover the remaining areas of the WHS not covered by the High Point Rendel report. Download the geomorphological mapping exercise for general information and and guidance on ground stability conditions throughout the Gorge (.pdf Size: 211Kb) .
