ExCAL were engaged by Kier Western to undertake
a site investigation at the disused Caerphilly Fire Station. A storage
tank was being removed, and ExCAL were required
to conduct on-site chemical tests around the tank using enzyme-based
kits.
ExCAL were later commissioned to undertake
a site investigation in sections of the car park of the Sainsbury's
store on Colchester Avenue, Cardiff. It was proposed to extend the
existing Sainsbury's store, originally built in the 1980s, over
the car park situated to the eastern side of the site.
Kier Western required the investigation in order to determine the
ground conditions at the site to allow design of the foundations
for the extension. The site has a long development history; it was
previously occupied by a coal fired power station (now demolished)
and an old Victorian tip.
ExCAL's site investigation included trial
pits and boreholes, and subsequent laboratory analysis of samples.
