Decommissioning has started on the first phase at Hinkley Point C Connection Project. Here are some before images. We’ll be catalouging the work on this, so you can see exactly what happens and how it could work on your own project.
Don’t be a slave to fuel price unpredictability, slash your enabling costs with up to 75% fewer vehicle movements – we’ll show you how

What is Sureground? SUREGROUND™ is an in-situ soil enhancement and decommissioning system that mixes site won soils with cementitious binders to increase their structural and load bearing properties for construction purposes.

When compared with traditional aggregate designs, project cost savings can exceed 30%. Additional savings are obtained through a reduction in preliminary costs associated with programme reductions. Surface Armouring offers further cost savings of 25% over a two-year lifetime.
Hinkley: The desire of both contractor and client for a more sustainable option when it came to access roads and compound surfacing led to an extensive and successful trial of our Sureground method. Ultimately leading to the method being used on three phases of the project.
Meet the Team: Ed Howard, MD at Soil Science has worked in the water industry for over 20 years and was previously MD at Ham Baker. ‘For me it’s the true innovation of Sureground that made Soil Science someone I wanted to work for.’
Achieve significant reductions in carbon, vehicle movements & imported aggregates with Sureground from Soil Science Limited. A unique method of building haul roads, working platforms & compounds; cuts costs & has a proven track record being used by the UK’s leading contractors
We work across all infrastructure. This project was on behalf of @jmurphyandsons as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade. We installed compounds & access roads at 3 locations for use in the ongoing electrification works.

Our crane pads and piling mats can save you tens of thousands of pounds. The shortened programme to install contributes to achievable savings of £65,000.00 over 6,000m2 with distinct improvements to environmental metrics. #civilengineering#groundworks#construction#costsaving
We don’t use any kind of grid system when laying our temporary haul roads, which means they are 100% plastic free. Just one more way that our Sureground system is helping you deliver a more sustainable project.

One of our working platforms at Hinkley. A project being undertaken for Balfour Beatty & National Grid after extensive & successful trials of our Sureground technology. 116 of these new design, T-shaped pylons will connect 6 million homes & businesses to low carbon electricity.
SUREGROUND™ uses far reduced quantities of primary aggregate, no recycled aggregate and contains no lime. The aggregate from surfacing layers is recycled at decommissioning stage. Read more here https://t.co/rrMnUu945H

Are you on the right road for #carbon reduction?
Ed Howard, MD of @soilscienceltd examines how you can cut your carbon emissions by two thirds on temporary haul roads:

Stop sending to Landfill! Nothing goes to landfill with our method! SUREGROUND™ increases the structural and load bearing properties of in-situ site won soils, so they can be used for construction on site rather than being transported to landfill.

Don’t get bogged down! Maintenance Free Surface Armouring with the SUREGROUND™ System transforms your site from wet unstable ground to a robust surface.
Make enabling works a sprint not a marathon. SUREGROUND™ can shorten enabling programmes by over 70%, saving costs in the process.

With the sky high cost of diesel, wouldn’t it be great if there was a haul road system that could reduce vehicle movements by 75%. With SUREGROUND™ there is! https://t.co/qpMGuSjnyq
