Assessment of fill and made ground
Where sites contain fill or made ground, their compressibility and potential for collapse when wetted must be assessed, with appropriate remedial measures taken to prevent damaging differential settlement. Guidance is available in BRE Digest 427 and BRE Report BR 424.
Where the site contains fill or made ground, consideration should be given to its compressibility and its potential for collapse on wetting, and to appropriate remedial measures to prevent damaging differential settlement. Guidance is given in BRE Digest 427 Low-rise buildings on fill and BRE Report BR 424 Building fill: Geotechnical aspects.
