A challenging site with a 45-degree bankside, this Melkridge project required careful and precise groundwork to create solid foundations for a new cantilever extension. Full image gallery below.

Two foundation holes were carefully hand-dug on a steep bankside with an approximately 45-degree gradient to support the extension's steelwork. Once complete, KBL left the site safe, clear and ready for the next stage of the cantilever construction.
This project demonstrates KBL's experience in specialist groundworks and foundation preparation across Northumberland, particularly where challenging terrain requires a careful and considered approach.
