Ground Engineering Specialists in St Albans
Professional ground engineering, structural repair, and foundation solutions for residential and commercial properties across St Albans.
Understanding St Albans's Ground Conditions
The historic cathedral city sits on a mix of clay-with-flints, London clay, and chalk. Many older properties in the city centre have foundations that may be vulnerable to ground movement.
Local Geology
Clay-with-flints over chalk on higher ground, with London clay in the valley. The Ver valley adds alluvial complexity to the ground conditions.
Moisture & Drainage
Seasonal moisture changes cause ground movement beneath foundations. Understanding local drainage patterns is essential for effective long-term solutions.
Vegetation Impact
Mature trees and hedgerows influence soil moisture levels, which can affect foundation stability — particularly in clay-rich areas of Hertfordshire.
Building Stock
