Local ground conditions

The ground beneath St Helens

St Helens is one of the most heavily undermined towns in the coalfield — the Ravenhead, Sutton and Clock Face collieries and the glassmaking industry all drew on it — on Pennine Coal Measures bedrock, under glacial till, glaciofluvial sand and gravel and extensive industrial made ground. It sits firmly within the Development High Risk Area.

What that means for your pour: assume shallow workings, mine entries and industrial made ground; both subsidence risk and potentially aggressive fill should be proven by site investigation before slab or foundation design, and don’t pre-set a concrete class.
