The works involved the stabilisation of an existing embankment – the worksite was 270m long, truncated at the southern boundary by St Ann’s Road Underbridge and to the north by the Tottenham & Hampstead line rail Underbridge. The embankment is up to 5m high and consists of re-worked London clay which needed to be stabilised. The works included for the removal of the existing embankment vegetation and topsoil. Approximately 534 Ishbeck 40/20 soil nails were installed up to a maximum length of 14m over the area of the embankment. The embankment was then dressed with rabbit/badger netting. A new cess path was constructed and supported by a piled retaining wall which consisted of Groudamat piles up to a depth of 4.0m at approximately 1.2m spacings along the length of the cess.
