• The task required passing under the original foundation while maintaining structural stability.
• The site also involved a 33.6 ton compression load test, requiring careful planning and execution.

Project Challenges:

• Having to navigate technical difficulties due to near structures and old foundations.
• Managing the constraints of working under the original foundation.
• Ensuring structural stability while respecting the load requirements of the 33.6 ton compression load test.

Conclusion:

• A successful first project for TMP Home Counties in Ely, demonstrating the expertise and technical precision required to handle complex foundation work.
• The project displays strong attention to detail and rigorous planning to ensure the long-term stability of the new construction.
