CHAS, or the Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme as it is known in its proper form, is a significant scheme promoting the benefits of effective Health and Safety within industries and business. The CHAS certification or certificate for accreditation is meant for consultants and contractors who apply for work with private and public sector organisations. The Accreditation Certificate is valid for a period of 12 months from the last date of assessment stating as compliant. Maintaining the certification requires the supplier to be assessed on an annual basis. What Is CSCS? CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry. CSCS cards provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the required training and qualifications for the type of work they carry out. The Scheme keeps a database of people working in construction who have achieved or are committed to achieving a recognised construction related qualification. Where we are accredited by these two organisations, you have peace of mind knowing that we are more than capable of carrying out the contract to an expected level of service and safety.

  • Kent Archaeological Projects
    2 Windmill Court, Borstal Hill, 2 Windmill Court Borstal Hill Whitstable Kent, Whitstable, CT5 4QH, GB

    Our Approach to Archaeology Kent Archaeological Projects (KAP) has become aware that archaeological factors play a critically important role on many sites, often due to archaeological specifications issued by local authorities as conditions of planning consent. We understand the challenges this presents to our clients and are committed to providing comprehensive and efficient solutions. The Issue There is a growing statutory requirement for site-specific archaeological desk-based research, walkover and geophysical surveys, evaluations, and extensive archaeological excavation before redevelopment or site disposal. Without prior knowledge of the archaeological potential and proper preparation, these requirements can cause significant disruption and delays, potentially jeopardizing the viability of the entire project. The Objective KAP conducts pre-planning application archaeological investigations on all types of sites to assess their archaeological potential. This allows for essential forward planning regarding finance, scheduling, and the necessary mitigation strategies required by the statutory authorities. We utilize the most appropriate techniques, ranging from non-intrusive magnetometery surveys to evaluation trenching, to provide an initial archaeological appraisal and determine the probable nature, extent, and significance of any archaeological remains, and how mitigation would affect any proposed redevelopment. The Solution Our professionally accredited staff boasts over twenty years of experience in the field and can effectively liaise with local authorities to agree on suitable and efficient mitigation measures, facilitating the discharge of archaeological conditions attached to planning consent. In many cases, minor modifications to a planned redevelopment can avoid costly and time-consuming archaeological work. After determining the probable type, extent, and overall significance of the archaeology and agreeing on a mitigation strategy with the relevant regulating body, KAP can undertake any required archaeological works to satisfy both the client and the archaeological authorities.

What is a soil engineer, and do I need one?

A soil engineer is a professional specializing in analyzing soil properties and their behavior under various conditions. They play a crucial role in:
  • Determining Soil Suitability: Assessing whether the soil can support the intended structure or load.
  • Recommending Foundation Types: Advising on the appropriate foundation design based on soil characteristics.
  • Addressing Drainage and Erosion Issues: Providing solutions to manage water runoff and prevent erosion.
  • Evaluating Slope Stability: Assessing the risk of landslides or soil movement on slopes.
You might need a soil engineer for projects involving:
  • Building on challenging soil types (expansive clay, loose sand, etc.)
  • Constructing large or complex structures
  • Excavating near slopes or retaining walls
  • Addressing drainage or erosion concerns
Your excavation contractor or local building department can advise if a soil engineer is necessary for your project.

What equipment is used for excavation?

Excavation projects employ various heavy equipment, chosen based on the job's scale and complexity. Common equipment includes:
  • Excavators: Versatile machines with a bucket, arm, and rotating cab for digging, lifting, and moving earth.
  • Backhoes: Similar to excavators but with a digging bucket on the back and a loader bucket on the front, ideal for trenching and smaller excavations.
  • Bulldozers: Powerful machines with a large blade for pushing earth, clearing land, and leveling surfaces.
  • Skid Steers: Compact and maneuverable loaders with various attachments (buckets, forks) for digging, loading, and grading in tight spaces.
  • Trenchers: Specialized machines for digging narrow trenches for utilities.
  • Dump Trucks: Vehicles for hauling excavated material to disposal sites.
The choice of equipment depends on factors such as the type of excavation, soil conditions, site accessibility, and project budget.
