A435 Cycleway Scheme Ground Investigation

Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) are seeking a supplier to undertake investigation for the proposed cycleway between Bishop's Cleeve and Cheltenham adjacent to the A435. The proposed geotechnical engineering works involved with this are:

• Hardstanding for the cycleway;
• Extension of a cutting, potentially with the side supported by a mass gravity retaining wall;
• Remediation of a defective embankment, through either a granular shoulder or soil nailing;
• Stabilisation of an existing bridge abutment;
• Reuse of excavated material as engineered fill;
• Soakaway drains; and,
• Bridge foundations

A ground investigation is required to characterise ground and groundwater conditions to inform the design of these geotechnical engineering works.

Full details are available in the tender documents.
