DEEP BASEMENT EXCAVATION – PARK STREET, CAMBRIDGE, UK

Card Geotechnics Limited (CGL) designed, in collaboration with Dawson Wam (DW) and Gilbert Ash (GA), the retaining walls, associated temporary works and the excavation/construction sequencing required to enable the construction of what is understood to be one of the largest and deepest basements in Cambridge to date. The value engineered basement solution was underpinned and informed through a detailed 3D FEA Ground Movement Analysis (GMA) and resulted in an optimised construction sequence and reduced programme and costs.
