0.0  REPORT SUMMARY 

Site Investigation Works  The intrusive investigation comprised the drilling of 3 No. cable percussive boreholes and 8 No. mechanically excavated trial pits to maximum depths of 20.00m bgl and 3.30m bgl respectively.   

together  with  in‐situ  testing,  laboratory  geotechnical  and  chemical  analysis  and  gas  and  ground  water monitoring from installations in 3 No. boreholes 

Ground Encountered  Made  Ground  was  identified  in  all  the  exploratory  holes  to  a  maximum  depth  of  0.50mbgl  (BH02)  and 

predominantly consisted of soft brown gravelly silty clay and relic topsoil with rootlets, in places overlying brown 

sandy gravelly clay intermixed with occasional bricks.  The gravel content comprising brick, concrete, chalk, some 

ash and coal.  Cobbles of brick were encountered in TP07 and TP04.  The superficial materials were generally found 

to comprise a firm becoming stiff brown and grey slightly sandy gravelly clay with low cobble content. Gravel and 

cobbles predominantly comprised chert and chalk.  From approximately 1.50mbgl, cohesive deposits were often 

very gravelly or in some instances fissured, which prevented hand shear vane testing being undertaken.    

Rockhead was not identified at the site during the intrusive investigation works. 

 

Site Location and 

Description 

The site is located to the east of Alconbury approximately 2km north east of Alconbury itself and 6.25km north west 

of Huntingdon town centre.  The site lies within a former military airfield which is undergoing redevelopment as a 

business hub. 

The development site generally comprises a rectangular grassed area of land (measuring approximately 70 metres 

by 50 metres), close to the main entrance to Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus.      Immediately to the north, 

bordering  the  site,  is  the  relatively  recently  constructed  “Incubator 1” building.    To  the  eastern boundary  is  a 

footpath, grassed verge and tarmac access road.  To the immediate south is an additional grassed area and to the 

western boundary is a tarmac access road.  Land surrounding the site comprises the remainder of the former airfield 

redevelopment project, with various tenants including vehicle and container storage, recycling, welfare provision 

and general light industrial usage with a move towards modern commercial offices and workspaces and residential 

and amenity uses within the proposed and ongoing Alconbury Weald and Enterprise Campus developments.   

Site History  Originally agricultural land, the airfield opened in 1938 and used and upgraded by USAF up to 1995, sold by MoD to Urban and Civic in 2009.   Few details of changes are indicated on OS plans within the airfield area likely due to censorship of sensitive information.

1.0  INTRODUCTION 

Shadbolt Environmental (part of the Shadbolt Group) were commissioned by the client Urban and Civic (Alconbury) Ltd. 

to undertake a site investigation for a proposed commercial office building (Incubator 2 Building) within the Alconbury 

Weald development at the former RAF Alconbury airfield.   

This  report  provides  an  assessment  of  the  ground  conditions  encountered  at  the  site with  regards  to  the  proposed 

commercial development. 

1.1   Aims and Objectives 

The purpose of the investigation was to determine the existing ground conditions and identify possible contamination 

related to past uses of the site which may provide constraints to the proposed development. 

In order to achieve the above stated aims and objectives the following works have been undertaken: 

Intrusive  investigations  including  mechanically  excavated  trial  pits,  cable  percussive 

boreholes and windowless sample boreholes.  

Chemical laboratory testing.  

Geotechnical Laboratory testing.  

Gas and water monitoring (on‐going). 

Contamination risk assessment. 

Foundation assessment. 

1.2  Scope of Works 

The site investigation designed by Shadbolt Environmental, consisted of 8 No. mechanically excavated Trial Pits, 3 No. 

Cable Percussive Boreholes, together with in‐situ testing (SPT, Hand Shear Vane and Mexiprobe), laboratory geotechnical 

and chemical analysis and gas and ground water monitoring from installations in the 3 No. boreholes.  

1.3  Limitations  

The  recommendations  and  opinions  expressed  in  this  report  are  based  on  the  strata  observed  in  the  borings  and 

excavations;  together  with  the  results  of  the  site  and  laboratory  tests  as  detailed  within  the  report.    Shadbolt 

Environmental takes no responsibility for ground conditions which occur between the exploratory hole positions. 

Every effort has been made to  interpret the conditions between investigation  locations; however, such  information is 

indicative.  A detailed review of the extent of limitations of this report is included in the Report Conditions included in 

Appendix A and the standard terms and conditions of the agreement.

2.2  Site Description 

The development site generally comprises a rectangular grassed area of land (measuring approximately 70 metres by 50 

metres), close to the main entrance to Alconbury Weald Enterprise Campus.   Immediately to the north, bordering the site, 

is the relatively recently constructed “Incubator 1” building.  To the eastern boundary is a footpath, grassed verge and 

tarmac access road.  To the immediate south is an additional grassed area and to the western boundary is a tarmac access 

road. 

Underground services were present on site. These included live electric cables and drainage / water pipes.  It was reported 

that a fibre optic cable was also present running along the western boundary. 

Land surrounding the site comprises the remainder of the former airfield redevelopment project, with various tenants 

including vehicle and container storage, recycling, welfare provision and general light industrial usage with a move towards 

modern commercial offices and workspaces and residential and amenity uses within the proposed and ongoing Alconbury

3.0  HISTORICAL LAND USE 

A  full  historical  appraisal  of  the  Alconbury Weald  development  site  has  been  carried  out  previously  by  Peter  Brett 

Associates (PBA) and is presented under Project Ref: 24213/026, Doc Ref: A1/Geo v01 Rev C as “Alconbury Weald – Ground 

Stability and Phase 1 Contaminated Land Desk Study” dated July 2012.  This document was produced for Urban and Civic 

as an appraisal of the entire development and reference should be made to this document for full details.  A history of the 

air field operations is also given in the BACTEC International Explosive Ordnance Threat Assessment contained within the 

PBA report.  

Within the vicinity of the Development area pertinent information includes the following; in earliest OS mapping the site 

is shown as agricultural land with the airfield opening in 1938 and used during WWII and through the Cold War to recent 

times by the United States Air Force before being purchased by Urban and Civic in 2009.  The taxi‐ways and roads to the 

north and north east the development area were modified in the 1980s to accommodate reconnaissance planes used at 

the  time.    The  airfield  and  infrastructure  were  returned  to  the  British  Ministry  of  Defence  in  1995  with  the  USAF 

maintaining use of the housing and support areas for the near future. 

Few details are indicated on OS plans within the airfield area likely due to censorship of sensitive information.  A mast is 

indicated close to the study area from maps dated from 1978, with a second mast structure noted on plans dated from 

1992.

The site is not located within a known coal mining affected area as verified by The Coal Authority’s Coal Mining Gazetteer 

for England and Wales.   Additionally,  there are no database records of Historical Mining,  JPB Mining Areas, Non‐Coal 

Mining, Non‐Coal Mining Cavities, Natural Cavities, Brine Extraction, Tin Mining and Clay Mining within 1000m of the site. 

4.3  Hydrogeology 

Information on the hydrogeological characteristics of the site has been obtained from the following: 

The Environment Agency Groundwater Vulnerability Maps 

Peter Brett Associates Ground Stability and Phase 1 Contaminated Land Desk Study Report 

(July 2012) and appendices including GroundSure Report. 

The superficial geology located beneath the site is designated as Unproductive; Unproductive aquifers are rock layers or 

drift deposits with low permeability that have negligible significance for water supply or river base flow. 

The solid geology located beneath the site is designated as Unproductive; Unproductive aquifers are rock layers or drift 

deposits with low permeability that have negligible significance for water supply or river base flow. 

4.4  Hydrology, Flood Risk and Drainage Issues 

There are 66 No.  river network  features  recorded within 500m of  the airfield site  including 12 No. within  the airfield 

boundary.   

There is 1 No. Environment Agency river quality record within 1500m of the site relating to Alconbury Brook 1232m W of 

the airfield where a Biological Quality Grade of B was recorded in 2009. 

Information  from  the  Environment  Agency  (EA)  indicates  that  the  site  does  not  lie  within  250m  of  an  indicated 

Environment Agency Zone 2 or Zone 3 flood plain. Additionally, there are no Flood Defences or areas benefitting from 

Flood Defences or Flood Storage within 250m of the site. 

The BGS indicate that the site does lie within 50m of groundwater flooding susceptible areas.  The BGS note that the airfield 

has a Very High susceptibility to groundwater flooding with High confidence rating in the assessment.  

4.5  Radon 

Reference to the NRPB Report W26 ‘Radon Atlas of England and Wales,’ 2002 indicates the site is not located in a Radon 

Affected Area as less than 1% of homes have radon emissions above the recommended Action Level, therefore, no specific 

protective measures are necessary for developments on this site with respect to radon.

Ground Investigation Interpretative Report                         January 2017 

6.0  SITE INVESTIGATION 

The physical ground investigation work was carried out by Shadbolt Environmental during November 2016.   

6.1  Proposed Development  

It  is  understood  that  the  site  is  to  be  developed  for  commercial  /  office  end‐use,  the  configuration of  the  proposed 

development is anticipated to be a single unit measuring approximately 54 metres x 16 metres with external hardstanding 

and landscaping areas and roadways linking to existing road and proposed new roads within the airfield development.   

6.2   Scope of Investigation  

The intrusive investigation comprised the drilling of 3 No. cable percussive boreholes and 8 No. mechanically excavated 

trial pits to maximum depths of 20.00m bgl and 3.30m bgl respectively.  A plan showing the approximate location of the 

exploratory holes is included as Drawing No. 2507‐003 ‐ Exploratory Hole Location Plan.  

The soils encountered during this  investigation have been logged in accordance with BS5930:1999 +A2:2010 “Code of 

Practice for Site Investigation”. 

During drilling and excavation representative samples were taken at regular intervals from the exploratory holes to assist 

in the identification of the soils, and to allow selected geotechnical and chemical testing to be programmed.  

Gas/groundwater monitoring wells have been installed in the 3No. cable percussive boreholes (BH01, BH02 and BH03). 

Each monitoring well comprises a lower slotted section of 50mm diameter HDPE pipe, surrounded by a filter pack of 10mm 

non‐calcareous gravel and an upper plain section surrounded in part by a bentonite seal and in part by gravel or arisings. 

The top of the plain pipe was cut off above ground level and the monitoring well protected by a raised lockable cover set 

in concrete. 

6.3   In‐Situ Testing 

SPT testing was carried out in the cable percussive boreholes and hand shear vane testing was undertaken in cohesive soils 

in the trial pits.   Assessment of the likely CBR values of shallow soils was also undertaken in the proposed car park areas 

using a hand held  ‘’Mexi Probe’’  this was  to enable evaluation of  the  likely CBR values and provide data  for highway 

pavement design.   

Results of the in‐situ testing are presented on the relevant exploratory hole logs included in Appendix B.   

6.4  Geotechnical Laboratory Testing 

Selected  samples  (scheduled by SE) were  submitted  to our nominated geotechnical  testing  laboratory. Results of  the 

geotechnical testing are presented within Appendix E.

6.5  Chemical Laboratory Testing 

A programme of chemical laboratory analysis was scheduled by Shadbolt Environmental to determine the concentrations 

of potential contaminants which may be present within the soils encountered at the site.  12 No. soil samples were tested 

for a range of determinands including heavy and phytotoxic metals and metalloids, inorganic and organic contaminants as 

well as asbestos.  The Shadbolt Environmental Tier 1 Screening Values, together with the results of the contamination 

testing are reported in Appendix C and Appendix D respectively. 

6.6  Gas Monitoring 

To date there have been 2 No. gas monitoring visits made to the site out of a scheduled 6 No visits to be undertaken over 

a period of 3 No. months.   

A standard procedure was  followed  in accordance with CIRIA guidance;  this procedure  involved measurement,  in  the 

following order of: 

Atmospheric  temperature,  pressure  and  ambient  oxygen  concentration  on  site 

immediately prior to and on completion of, monitoring. 

Emission rate. 

Methane,  oxygen  and  carbon  dioxide  concentrations  using  a  GFM  475  infra‐red  gas 

analyser. 

Standing water level using a dipmeter. 

The results of the monitoring visits have been assessed, the findings are discussed in Section 9.0 of this report. 

6.7  Limitations 

It  should be noted  that  although every effort  has been made  to ensure  the  accuracy of  the data obtained  from  the 

investigation, the possibility exists of variations in ground and groundwater conditions between and around the borehole 

locations.  

In addition, groundwater levels and ground gas concentrations will vary seasonally and with changes in weather conditions.

7.0  GROUND CONDITIONS 

For an accurate description of the strata encountered, reference should be made to the individual exploratory hole logs 

presented included in Appendix B.   

The ground conditions encountered at the site are summarised in the following sections.  

7.1  Made Ground 

Made Ground was  identified  in all  the exploratory holes to a maximum depth of 0.50mbgl  (BH02) and predominantly 

consisted of soft brown gravelly silty clay and relic  topsoil with rootlets,  in places overlying brown sandy gravelly clay 

intermixed with occasional bricks.  The gravel content comprising brick, concrete, chalk, some ash and coal.  Cobbles of 

brick were encountered in TP07 and TP04. 

7.2  Superficial Deposits 

Superficial deposits were identified in all exploratory holes.  

The superficial materials were generally found to comprise a firm becoming stiff brown and grey slightly sandy gravelly 

clay  with  low  cobble  content.  Gravel  and  cobbles  predominantly  comprised  chert  and  chalk.    From  approximately 

1.50mbgl, cohesive deposits were often very gravelly or  in some instances fissured, which prevented hand shear vane 

testing being undertaken.  

Stiff laminated clay was encountered in BH02 from 15.00mbgl. 

7.3  Solid Deposits 

Rockhead was not identified at the site during the investigation.  

7.4  Groundwater 

Groundwater was not generally recorded during the site works.   Subsequent post site works monitoring has reported 

standing groundwater at approximately 0.60mbgl to 1.00mbgl. 

7.5  Ground Obstructions  

Generally,  ground  obstructions  were  not  encountered  during  site  works.      Occasional  cobbles  were  encountered  in 

exploratory holes.  Greater effort was required by the JCB 3CX during excavation of the deeper strata in trial pits. 

The presence of other obstructions in the form of relict foundations previously not shown on historical plans or demolition 

rubble also cannot be ruled out.  

7.6  Observed Contamination 

With the exception of ash gravel type material in the shallow made ground deposits, evidence of obvious visual or olfactory 

contamination was not observed during the siteworks. 

7.7  In‐Situ and Laboratory Geotechnical Analysis 

The following in‐situ and laboratory geotechnical testing has been undertaken, the results of which are summarised in 

Table 7.7.1 (below) and are presented in full in Appendix E.

8.0  GROUND CONTAMINATION ASSESSMENT 

8.1  Legislation 

Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 provides for the control of specific threats to health or the environment 

from existing land contamination.  In accordance with the Act, the statutory guidance document and The Contaminated 

Land  (England)  Regulations  2000,  the  definition  of  contaminated  land  is  intended  to  embody  the  concept  of  risk 

assessment.  Therefore,  land  is  only  “contaminated  land” where  it  appears  to  the  regulatory  authority,  by  reason  of 

substances within, on, or under the land that: 

  Significant harm is being caused, or there is significant possibility of such harm being caused; or 

  Pollution of controlled waters is being, or is likely to be, caused. 

The guidance defines “risk” as the combination of: 

Probability, or frequency, of occurrence of a defined hazard (for example, exposure of a property to a substance 

with the potential to cause harm); and 

Magnitude (including the seriousness) of the consequences.  

For a risk of pollution or environmental harm to occur as a result of ground contamination, all of the following elements 

must be present: 

Source, i.e. a substance that is capable of causing pollution or harm; 

Receptor (or target), i.e. something which could be adversely affected by the contaminant; and 

Pathway, i.e. a route by which the contaminant can reach the receptor. 

If one of these elements is missing (source, pathway or receptor) there can be no significant risk.  If all are present then 

the magnitude of the risk is a function of the magnitude and mobility of the source, the sensitivity of the receptor and the 

nature of the migration pathway. 

8.2  Assessment Methodology 

In order to assess the environmental risk posed by potential contaminants within the underlying soils and groundwater 

Shadbolt  Environmental  undertook  an  initial  screen  of  the  laboratory  results  using  Shadbolt  Environmental  Tier One 

Screening Values Version (TSVs).  This screening was using TSVs derived for the proposed COMMERCIAL end use. 

Contaminant concentrations below the TSVs are considered not to warrant further risk assessment.  Concentrations of 

potential contaminants above the TSVs require further consideration of the potential pollutant linkages.  It should be noted 

that exceedance of the TSVs does not necessarily require that the site be remediated.

8.3  Derivation of Soils TSVs 

On‐going research by the Environment Agency (EA) is being undertaken to produce toxicology reports (TOX series) for each 

of the contaminants identified within the CLR framework and then to produce published Soil Guideline Values (SGVs) using 

the Contaminated Land Exposure Assessment (CLEA) Model.  Parallel to the work being undertaken by the EA is research 

being undertaken by Land Quality Management Limited and the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) to 

produce similar General Assessment Criteria (GAC) using the CLEA Model.  To date, SGVs and GACs have been published 

for over 80 No. contaminants with SGVs / GACs derived for each contaminant for three different land use scenarios namely: 

Residential 

Allotment 

Commercial 

In addition, Shadbolt Environmental (The Shadbolt Group) have derived screening values for Parks, Playing Fields and 

Open Spaces based on current guidance. 

Shadbolt Environmental TSV’s are based on the SGVs and GACs which are scientifically based generic assessment criteria 

that can be used to simplify the assessment of human health risks arising from long‐term and on‐site exposure to chemical 

contamination in soil. 

SGVs  and  GACs  are  a  screening  tool  for  the  generic  quantitative  risk  assessment  of  land  contamination  (Defra  and 

Environment Agency, 2004). They are not (unless clearly stated otherwise) relevant for assessing risks to human health 

from short‐term exposure to chemicals in soil including injury arising from direct bodily contact and do not take account 

of other types of risks to humans such as explosion or suffocation risks (associated with the build‐up of gases such as 

methane and carbon dioxide) or aesthetic issues such as odour or colour. 

SGVs  and  GACs  do  not  take  account  of  other  non‐soil  based  sources  of  contamination  such  as  contamination  in 

groundwater, surface waters or drinking waters. They cannot be used to evaluate risks to non‐human receptors such as 

controlled waters, ecosystems, buildings and services, domestic pets or garden plants. Where, for example, phytotoxic 

effects  are  an  important  consideration  in  the  current  or  future  intended  land  use  further  investigation  should  be 

undertaken. 

SGVs are guidelines on the level of long‐term human exposure to individual chemicals in soil that, unless stated otherwise, 

are tolerable or pose a minimal risk to human health. They represent “trigger values” – indicators to a risk assessor that 

soil concentrations above this level may pose a possibility of significant harm to human health (Defra, 2008b). Significance 

is linked to: 

Margin of exceedance; 

Duration and frequency of exposure; 

Other site‐specific factors that the enforcing authority may wish to take into account. 

SGVs do not of themselves represent the threshold at which there is a significant possibility of significant harm (SPOSH). 

Nor do they automatically represent an unacceptable intake in the context of Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 

1990. However, they can be a useful starting point for such an assessment.

Ground Investigation Interpretative Report                         January 2017 

In order to assess the soil analyses results with regard to potential human health risks, Shadbolt Environmental TSVs have 

been derived in accordance with the UK framework set out in the most recent CLR (Contaminated Land Report) documents 

(EA/DEFRA, 2009) and LQM/CIEH S4ULs for Human Health Risk Assessment 2015 and are “in line” with industry standards. 

Assessment Framework 

The CLEA model states that, ‘the contamination is assumed to be at or within 1m of the surface’.  It is considered that at 

depths greater than 1m, the probability of human exposure via the direct contact pathways are significantly reduced, 

leaving inhalation of volatile compounds as the dominant pathway with regard to human health risks.  Typically, volatile 

compounds only significantly affect the indoor inhalation pathway.   

Statistical Analysis 

The CLEA guidelines also state that for each contaminant, the upper 95th percentile of the mean measured concentration 

(95%UCL) should be calculated and this value should be compared to the TSV.  

The objective of maximum value tests is to decide whether the maximum concentration observed should be treated as an 

outlier or whether it can reasonably be considered to come from the same underlying population as the other samples.   

It is known that contaminant concentrations often demonstrate lognormal or other distribution forms.  Therefore, in order 

to calculate what are considered to be more representative 95%UCL values, the contaminant concentrations have first 

been assessed to determine if each contaminant distribution is closer to a normal or lognormal distribution.   

If a dataset was found to be log normally distributed, the geometric mean was used to calculate the 95%UCL, for those 

that were found to be normally distributed; the arithmetic mean was used to calculate the 95%UCL.  Constituent non‐

detects  were  assigned  a  value  equal  to  the  reported  analytical  laboratory  limit  of  detection,  considered  reasonably 

conservative.  Any identified outliers are excluded from the datasets used in calculation of the 95%UCL value.

8.4  Soil Contamination Assessment 

In  total,  12  No.  soil  samples  were  submitted  for  testing  for  a  suite  of  common  contaminants  during  the  Shadbolt 

Environmental ground investigation.   

The analysis included heavy and phytotoxic metals and metalloids, inorganic and organic contaminants as well as asbestos.  

An additional 3 No. soil samples were scheduled for asbestos fibre screening.    

The  laboratory  chemical  results  have  indicated  all  tested  contaminant  concentrations  to  be  within  SE  TSVs  for  a 

COMMERCIAL end use.  

8.4.1  Soils Statistical Assessment 

Chemical analysis reported contaminant concentrations well within SE TSVs for commercial land use.  Therefore, statistical 

analysis was not considered necessary.  

8.5  Leachate Contamination Assessment 

Due to low contaminant concentrations reported from chemical analysis no leachate testing is considered necessary at 

this stage. 

8.6  Groundwater Contamination Assessment 

Groundwater was generally not encountered during the site investigation works.

9.0  GAS RISK ASSESSMENT 

9.1  Gas Risk Assessment and Protection Measures 

CIRIA have developed a characterisation system for all buildings except for low‐rise housing developments with a clear 

ventilated sub‐floor void.  This is a risk based system which compares gas emission rates to generic Characteristic Situations 

derived and expanded on from CIRIA 149. Concept of ‘Traffic Lights’ developed from Byle and Witherington has also been 

included (See Table 10.8.2) for residential development.  

The Characteristic Situations include ‘Typical Maximum Concentrations’ for initial screening purposes and risk‐based Gas 

Screening  Values  (GSVs)  for  consideration when  the  Typical Maximum  Concentrations  are  exceeded.    The  GSVs  are 

calculated  by multiplying  the  borehole  flow  rate  by  the  concentration  in  the  air  stream  of  the  particular  gas  being 

considered.   

The Characteristic Situation system has been designed for both methane and carbon dioxide, with the worst case value 

adopted.  

9.2  Ground Gas Monitoring Data 

To date 2 No. of the scheduled 6 No. monitoring visits have been undertaken; the gas monitoring results are presented 

Appendix F. 

The maximum Methane and Carbon Dioxide emissions, which are representative of the Typical Maximum Concentrations, 

were as follows: 

Methane:  0.0% v/v 

Carbon Dioxide:  0.9% v/v 

   

The maximum concentration of methane recorded was 0.0% v/v, however 0.1% v/v will be used for calculations as this is 

the limit of detection of the instrument. 

The maximum recorded positive flow rate in the boreholes was 0.2 l/hr. 

The calculated GSVs for methane and carbon dioxide to date are as follows: 

Methane:  (0.1/100) x 0.2 = 0.0002 l/hr 

Carbon Dioxide:  (0.9/100) x 0.2 = 0.0018 l/hr

10.0  RISK ASSESSMENT 

All available data has been collated and evaluated to establish an initial conceptual model of the site in its current condition 

and post development identifying sources, pathways and receptors and pollutant linkages.  The site conceptual model has 

been developed in accordance with BS10175: 2011.   

A Tier 1 risk assessment has been undertaken using the appropriate guidelines for a COMMERCIAL End Use.  

10.1  Contamination Sources 

In  total  12  No.  soil  samples  were  submitted  for  testing  for  a  suite  of  common  contaminants  during  the  Shadbolt 

Environmental ground investigation with an additional 2 No. soils submitted for asbestos fibre screening. 

The laboratory chemical results have indicated all soil samples tested to have contaminant concentrations within SE TSVs 

for a COMMERCIAL end use.  

10.2  Potential Contaminant Pathways

The following potential contaminant pathways are proposed considering the proposed future COMMERCIAL end‐use.  

Inhalation / ingestion of dust, gases and vapour;

Ground Investigation Interpretative Report                                 January 2017 

10.4.1  Current and Future Site Users   

Potential  pathways  considered  significant  to  current  and  future  site  uses  are  dermal  contact,  ingestion  of 

contaminated soil / groundwater and inhalation of fibres, gases, vapours or dusts.   

It  is  considered  that  the site presents a LOW risk  to current site users  from the soils  located at  the site as  the 

identified contamination is below the TSVs for soils with respect to the current commercial end use.  

Low methane and carbon dioxide levels have been recorded at the site.  Reference to current best practice” (see 

9.3) indicates the results fall into Characteristic Situation 1 for gas protection i.e. no specific gas protection measures 

required (Very Low Risk).   

10.4.2  Ground Excavation / Development Workers 

It is envisaged that significant earthworks will not be required for the proposed development with excavations being 

limited  to  those  for  foundations,  services and hardstanding areas.  It  is  considered  that  the  risk  to  construction 

and/or maintenance workers during redevelopment works  is LOW owing to  low concentrations of metallic and 

hydrocarbon contaminants.  

10.4.3  Future Developments including Buried Structures and Services 

Sources  of  hydrocarbon  contamination  have  been  reported  to  be  minimal  within  soils  with  contaminant 

concentrations below SE TSVs within the proposed development area.  It is generally considered that there is a LOW 

risk to buried structures and services across the site. 

In the sites current state, the overall risk to future proposed development / services is considered to be LOW. 

10.4.4  Controlled Waters 

Chemical analysis undertaken on soil samples collected from the site reported low concentrations of contaminants. 

It is therefore considered that there is a LOW risk to controlled waters within the vicinity of the site. No groundwater 

was encountered during the physical ground investigation works. 

10.4.5  Flora 

Generally low contaminant concentrations have been reported at shallow depth across the site and it is therefore 

considered that there is LOW risk to the establishment of flora at the site.

Ground Investigation Interpretative Report                                 January 2017 

11.0  GROUND ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS 

11.1  Proposed Development – COMMERCIAL  

It  is  understood  from  the  client  that  the  site  is  to  be  developed  for  commercial  use with  a  new office  facility 

(Incubator 2) within the Alconbury Weald development within the former RAF Alconbury airfield.   

11.2  Ground Obstructions  

Obstructions below ground were not encountered within exploratory holes during the recent ground investigation.  

Occasional cobbles of brick were noted in the shallow made ground deposits. 

The presence of other obstructions in the form of relict foundations previously not shown on historical plans or 

demolition rubble also cannot be ruled out.  

11.3  Mining 

The site is not located within a known coal mining affected area as verified by The Coal Authority’s Coal Mining 

Gazetteer for England and Wales.   

Additionally,  there are no database  records of Historical Mining,  JPB Mining Areas, Non‐Coal Mining, Non‐Coal 

Mining Cavities, Natural Cavities, Brine Extraction, Tin Mining and Clay Mining within 1000m of the site 

11.4  Foundations 

Made  Ground  was  identified  in  all  the  exploratory  holes  to  a  maximum  depth  of  0.50m  bgl  (BH02)  and 

predominantly consisted of soft brown gravelly silty clay and relic topsoil with rootlets, in places overlying brown 

sandy gravelly clay intermixed with occasional bricks.  The gravel content comprising brick, concrete, chalk, some 

ash and coal.  Cobbles of brick were encountered in TP07 and TP04. 

The superficial materials were generally  found to comprise a  firm becoming stiff brown and grey slightly sandy 

gravelly  clay  with  low  cobble  content.  Gravel  and  cobbles  predominantly  comprised  chert  and  chalk.    From

11.5  Chemical Attack on Buried Structures 

The water soluble sulphate test results reported concentrations between 10mg/l and 1655mg/l. The soil pH was 

between 7.9 and 8.4 indicating neutral to slightly alkaline conditions.  

The results have been assessed in accordance with the guidance given in BRE Special Digest 1:2005. Assuming a 

brownfield site with static groundwater the Design Sulphate Class for the site is DS‐3, ACEC Class AC‐2s. 

11.6  Drainage, Highways and Infrastructure 

Whilst no soakaway tests were undertaken as part of the ground investigation it is likely that shallow soakaways 

would not be feasible due to the cohesive nature of the materials identified during the investigation.   

A CBR value of 3.0% at formation with capping is likely to be required and should be adopted for pavement and 

hardstanding design purposes. 

11.7  Invasive and Protected Species 

No  suspected  invasive  species  (flora)  were  identified  during  siteworks  or  subsequent  monitoring  visits.    It  is 

anticipated that an ecological survey may have been carried out previously or is proposed in the future to identify 

potential ecological constraints to the proposed development and the wider airfield reclamation works.

Ground Investigation Interpretative Report                                 January 2017 

12.0  CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

12.1  Conclusions 

Shadbolt Environmental  (part of  the Shadbolt Group) were commissioned by  the Client Urban and Civic Plc.  to 

undertake a site  investigation for a COMMERCIAL end use comprising a proposed new office  facility within  the 

Alconbury Weald development, within the former RAF Alconbury airfield.   

Made Ground was identified in all the exploratory holes to a maximum depth of 0.50mbgl (BH02) and predominantly 

consisted of soft brown gravelly silty clay and relic topsoil with rootlets, in places overlying brown sandy gravelly 

clay intermixed with occasional bricks.  The gravel content comprising brick, concrete, chalk, some ash and coal.  

Cobbles of brick were encountered in TP07 and TP04. 

Superficial deposits were identified in all exploratory holes and generally found to comprise a firm becoming stiff 

brown and grey slightly sandy gravelly clay with low cobble content. Gravel and cobbles predominantly comprised 

chert and chalk.  From approximately 1.50mbgl, cohesive deposits were often very gravelly or in some instances 

fissured, which prevented hand shear vane testing being undertaken.  Stiff laminated clay was encountered in BH02 

from 15.00mbgl. 

Generally, ground obstructions were not encountered during site works, occasional cobbles were encountered in 

exploratory holes.  Greater effort was required by the JCB 3CX during excavation of the deeper strata in trial pits. 

The presence of other obstructions in the form of relict foundations previously not shown on historical plans or 

demolition rubble also cannot be ruled out.  

Rockhead was not encountered within the extent of this ground investigation. 

The laboratory chemical results have indicated all soil samples tested to have contaminant concentrations within SE 

TSVs for a commercial end use.   

Groundwater  was  not  generally  recorded  during  the  site  works.    Subsequent  post  site  works  monitoring  has 

reported standing groundwater at approximately 0.60mbgl to 1.00mbgl. 

It is considered that in its present state, generally, the site presents a LOW risk to human health and the surrounding 

environment.  Should the site be developed for a commercial end use it is considered that the risk will remain LOW. 

Given the site observations and chemical testing results it is considered that there is a LOW risk to controlled waters 

within the vicinity of the site. 

Based on the expected construction and relatively low loads required, it is anticipated that pad foundations within 

natural clays may be suitable for the proposed development.  Laboratory and in‐situ testing indicates an allowable 

bearing capacity in the order of 150kPa is appropriate at 1.50m bgl in order to remain within acceptable levels of 

settlement (<25mm), increasing to 250kPa at around 2.20m bgl.   

If soft strata or deeper Made Ground are present, the subgrade material should be excavated out and replaced with 

engineered granular fill to avoid undesirable differential settlement. 

To date there have been 2 No. monitoring visits made to the site from a scheduled total of 6 No.  Based on the data 

collected  the  risk  from  soil  gas  affecting  the  proposed  development  is  preliminarily  assessed  as  Characteristic

Situation 1, Very Low.   

A CBR value of 3.0% at formation should be adopted for pavement and hardstanding design purposes. 

The concrete Design Sulphate Class for the site is DS‐3, ACEC Class AC‐2s. 

 

12.2   Recommendations 

The remaining gas monitoring visits should be completed, at which point the gas risk assessment will be updated to 

reflect the additional data.   

An  earthworks  and  remediation  strategy  should  be  developed  to  outline  the measures  required  to  allow  the 

development  to  proceed  on  a  more  assured  basis  with  regards  to  potential  limited  contamination  and  any 

preparatory groundworks that may be required.

NOTES

separately as appropriate for the site, e.g. for water, ecology, building materials.

For certain compounds not identified as a significant risk to human health (eg heavy end hydrocarbon fractions), aesthetic and other considerations may drive requirement for remediation.

SOIL - THE SHADBOLT GROUP SUITABLE FOR USE LEVELS - HUMAN HEALTH

1) Screen individual constituent values initially and if exceedences are noted consider further in relation to averaging areas and statistical analysis

Issue

4) Please note that the TSVs derived for certain compounds may be low in relation to standard laboratory detection limits.

Status

2) These values are for initial screening for potential risk to human health only. They are not remediation thresholds. Screening for other receptors to be done

3) TSVs have been derived for common constituents only to date, pending future issues of this sheet. Research has bene undertaken for numerous other constituents already.
