Jomas are industry leaders in providing Ground Movement and Settlement Analysis using 3d-modelling software, providing our clients with a streamlined and integrated approach to project delivery which drives efficiency through a single point of delivery.
In Urban areas like London, where space is often limited and at a premium, extending a property downwards by creating a basement is a common solution. However, these developments can pose risks to neighbouring properties. That is where our expertise comes in – Jomas can undertake Ground Movement Analysis using P-DISP and X-DISP software packages, which can be used to predict the impact of a basement excavation on surrounding structures. The software assesses the potential damage to be suffered by neighbouring properties, using the renowned Burland Scale for damage assessment.
Our approach is both proactive and data driven. By inputting ground data from our investigations, along with structural layouts and loads provided by the Structural Engineer, our clients can confidently move forward with their projects and receive assurance that their property will either have only an acceptable level of impact, or will identify that further measures (such as propping of the excavation) will be required. Once the analysis is complete, a comprehensive Ground Movement Analysis report is generated.
This report not only gives our clients peace of mind but also provides a clear, concise document that can be submitted to the Local Authority for their consideration, in support of planning applications. In cases where the report and software outputs are audited, the software creates a detailed record of all input data and results, all available at the push of a button.
By offering this service in-house, we save our clients valuable time and effort. Ther is no need to source another provider and transfer data for review – we handle everything, ensuring faster project turnaround and more efficient decision-making.
At Jomas Associates, our commitment to innovation and 3D modelling technology means we are continuously improving how we deliver Ground Movement Analysis. We provide our clients with reliable, accurate, and time-saving solutions to ensure the success of their projects, without compromising the safety or integrity of neighbouring properties.
