Description

Balfour Beatty on behalf of the client Herefordshire Council require a subcontractor who can provide a proposed soft nails solution (soil nailing) .

Background:

In December 2023, an inspection of Drag Road Byway, Symonds Yat, found that there had been movement of the embankment causing the road to move, which is a safety concern. A full emergency closure of this section was put in place.

Site visits from geotechnical specialists and topographical surveys confirmed that a failure had occurred within the slope below the concrete edge beam/retaining structure that forms the edge of the highway towards its northern end of the structure. This failure appears to have been constrained by the low point within the crest of rock out crop below Drag Road. As a result of the failure a width of approximately 4.75m of the underside of the edge beam/retaining structure has been exposed


Proposed solution: Soil nails as per draft drawings.

The location and roads around Symonds Yat are very narrow 2.5-3m wide in places. This will need small specialist equipment to undertake the works.
