Design and construction of circa 8000m2 of haul road and 14000m2 of pile platform was in our scope of works to provide easily maintained and suitably tested access for all heavy plant such as piling rigs, 300T crawler cranes and PC Y beam delivery vehicle weighing circa 80T.
Envirobase Technologies delivered an environmentally friendly soil stabilisation solution for the Barking Riverside railway link, offering robust support for heavy plant operations while achieving significant cost savings.
Designed and constructed 8,000m² haul road and 14,000m² pile platform for heavy equipment.
Replaced muck export and stone import with lime and cement stabilisation, reducing environmental impact.
Provided seamless project support from design through construction, testing, and handover.
Contact Envirobase Technologies today to discuss your soil stabilisation and earthworks needs.
Specification: 600mm stabilized layer using lime and cement with a 150mm stone protection layer. The brief for Envirobase technologies was to provide a stabilisation solution as an alternative to exporting muck offsite and importing stone. A significantly more environmentally friendly approach and making substantial cost savings.
A project update and thanks for all the assistance, design, inspections, and guidance provided by Envirobase Technologies to Morrisroe at Barking Riverside extension.
Design and construction of circa 8000m2 of haul road and 14000m2 of pile platform was in our scope of works to provide easily maintained and suitably tested access for all heavy plant such as piling rigs, 300T crawler cranes and PC Y beam delivery vehicle weighing circa 80T. From the outset we realised that we required the services of a specialist and luckily, we made contact and enlisted the services of Mr Alastair McDermid from Envirobase Technologies.
Many meetings took place to define and develop the requirements of the finished platform, testing visits and initial tests on the host materials, agree on platform alignment, construction programme and give advice on selection of reputable known soil stabilisation contractors.
The process from end to finish was seamless from design to construction to monitoring inspections and handovers. The guidance provided by Envirobase throughout the project was first class, always available to provide additional support when queries on site arose.
We have finished construction of all pile caps, pier walls, the final PC Y beams will be installed last week, the soil stabilised platforms have all held up and there were never any issues, so just a note to say thanks for all the hard work and help and I recommend Envirobase for any earthworks or stabilisation requirements.
Other Projects
When Agriplant Solutions needed an impermeable soil lining below the water table, Envirobase delivered. A bespoke blend and deep mixing transformed in-situ soils, achieving near-zero permeability, erosion resistance, and full compliance—without costly imports or liners.
F1 Construction successfully maximised the reuse of existing site soils by stabilising them to meet Local Highways Authority requirements for Section 278 works. This approach achieved a zero cut/fill balance, reducing environmental impact and material costs while ensuring full compliance with highway standards.
When soft alluvium soils threatened to force costly piling, M&T turned to Envirobase Technologies. A tailored stabilisation blend and rigorous QA transformed the ground, enabling strip footings, cutting costs, and delivering a compliant, build-ready foundation.
For Curo’s high-profile film studio project, Envirobase provided independent validation of self-delivered stabilisation works. Through oversight, testing, and stakeholder collaboration, we ensured full compliance and delivered a robust final validation report.
