Our team took extra precautions to protect the century-old church that stands on the development's property line, installing a shoring system and using seismographs to monitor vibrations during rock removal. Both the shoring and the church itself were monitored regularly to ensure the protections performed as planned.
In all, we removed +38,000 cubic metres of solid Cambrian bedrock and +3,000 cubic metres of earth. This required controlled drilling, blasting and hoe ramming, detailed footing excavation and backfilling, and the installation of slab drainage, mechanical trenches and new building services.
