Geobear has won a contract to deliver the Shugborough Tunnel structural void fill scheme for Story Contracting. The Geobear work commenced on May 9.
The project will see Geobear provide essential repair works to the tunnel lining and complete void filling for eight hidden shafts using our specialist geopolymer material. The purpose of the infilling works is to mitigate the risks associated with hidden shafts, which includes dynamic loading on the tunnel lining due to the internal collapse of voids and ground instability. The works will be delivered over 29 Saturday night ROTR possessions and include 2 weeks of mid-week working.
