Recently we carried out a mineshaft investigation for The Coal Authority in North Lanarkshire. Our works conisisted of a two phased approach. First we carried out a series vertical and angled dynamic sampling and rotary cored boreholes from outwith the influence zone to firm up the historic data we had on ground conditions. This allowed us to design and implement this impressive temporary works which was designed by Scaftec Ltd and built by Clyde Scaffolding Ltd. Access restrictions prohibited the use of a traditional Bailey bridge.

The second phase involved an 80m rotary probe hole to the base of the shaft and afterwards we installed a series of dywidag bars which allowed Restek UK Limited to treat the shaft with chemical grout to stabilise it. It’s been great working alongside the guys at Restek and seeing the great work they do. We look forward to the next project coming up in the near future.

Some work carried out by our rotary crews in recent weeks. We’ve had a mix of mineral boreholes, rock proving by coring for pile design and dynamic sampling in fuel stations. Another example of the wide variety of work our crews can undertake to meet the requirements of our Clients.

A small project we carried out for a new Client in Perthshire recently. Works involved 3 hand dug inspections pits to find the location of an electric cable prior to completing 3 soakaway tests in the adjacent field.

Prior to works commencing, traffic management in the form of temporary lights, reduced speed limit and a single lane closure was set up to provide safe access for our staff. It is essential for us when working on carriageways that a proper traffic management system is in place to provide protection to our staff. Thanks to Contraflow Ltd. for providing this and helping the job run smoothly.

A long overdue post from several jobs we have carried out for various Clients on the Scottish Islands this year. We have covered Coll and Tiree then Arran and Islay twice. Here we carried out a mix of dynamic sampling, soakaways and trial pits for future developments.

It's safe to say the team enjoyed the trips to the distilleries and beaches more than the work.

We’ve been back on the railway the last couple of weekends carrying out dynamic sampling boreholes. Here we have pictures of Clyde GI working on the Clyde at Bowling Harbour. We undertook a single borehole to assist with the design of a new retaining wall.

We’ve recently added a Comacchio GEO 305 to our rig fleet. This will allow us to increase our rotary capacity to keep up with Client demand. With the added power it gives us a bit of reassurance on deeper boreholes.

Here we have it in action on its first job, working alongside our Dando 3000 we completed CP to 35m followed on by rotary open hole to 50m to check for mine workings.

Well, that’s another year at Clyde GI coming to an end.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last year. We’ve had another great year and this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our staff, clients, suppliers and subcontractors.

We have a busy start to 2024 and it looks like it’s going to be another busy year.

From all at Clyde Ground Investigation, we wish you and your families the best for 2024.

Great few days in Italy last week visiting Comacchio SpA to see the latest edition to our fleet, the GEO 205 rotary rig. This impressive machine will allow us to increase our rotary capacity and improve reliability and results to our Clients.

Thank you to Nathan Jones of JKS Boyles UK Ltd for the trip and to Davide Pegoraro of Comacchio SpA for his hospitality over the few days. It was great to see the work that goes into building these machines, in a very impressive factory by a passionate workforce.

This week I had the pleasure of welcoming my old pal Ronnie Britton to the team at Clyde GI. With over 40 years in the game, he will be an invaluable asset to the team. Ronnie will be leading our rotary crew as we continue to expand our services.
