1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report has been prepared to accompany an application for a new
basement to the residential property at 7 Selwood Terrace, London, SW7 3QN. This
report should be read in conjunction with all relevant information provided by Alan Higgs
Architects.
2.0 PROPOSED BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION
In considering the viability of constructing a new basement to the rear of the existing
4 storey property and below the rear 2 storey closet wing we acknowledge that it is a
significantly challenging engineering endeavour and that if poorly planed or executed
could cause damage to the existing property.
We have reviewed and consider the contents of the RBKC Town Planning policy on
Subterranean Development, Phase 1 – Scoping Study, doc ref REP/123002/001/
DRAFT prepared by Arup Geotechnics and have responded to the relevant matters in
developing our structural design.
We have also commissioned a detailed site investigation in order to fully study the
existing foundations, the existing geology and the existing hydrology. In addition
opening up works will be carried out to investigate the existing structure to the floors
over.
2.1 site investigation
The site investigation comprised the following;
• 1 No continuous flight auger Boreholes to a depth of 8.0m below existing lower

ground floor level.
• gas and groundwater monitoring standpipe to a depth of 5.0m in the borehole
• 2 No trial pits to expose the existing foundations to the party wall, rear wall and
internal wall.
• sampling & insitu testing as appropriate to the ground conditions encountered in

the borehole & trial pits.
• laboratory testing of soil properties and contamination testing.
The preliminary risk assessment, geo-environmental and geotechnical site assessment

report prepared by RSK Environment Limited, reference, 26185 R01 (00) dated March
2013 is attached, refer to appendix c.
MARCH 2013
selwood terrace
In summary the ground conditions encountered were consistent with geological

records and comprised approximately 0.6-1.85 of made ground over 5.05m of
Kempton Park Gravel with London Clay Formation encountered at 6.8m top the
base of the borehole depth. The Kempton Park gravel was encountered at a
depth between 1.75 and 1.85 below ground level and comprised initially very dense,
becoming medium dense with depth, orange brown, locally clayey, medium to coarse
sand, and fine to coarse gravel of flint. The London Clay Formation was encountered
beneath the Kempton Park Gravel at a depth of 6.8m bgl and proven to the full depth
of investigation. Based on the site descriptions and in-situ and laboratory testing carried
out, this stratum can be described as dark brown and grey slightly sandy Clay.
Groundwater was encountered during the investigation within BH1 at a depth of 6m

bgl. Whilst a groundwater monitoring standpipe was installed within the borehole, it was
limited to a depth of 4.7m begl due to instability at the base of the Kempton Park Gravel.
No groundwater was recorded during the subsequent monitoring of the standpipe
installation, confirming the standing groundwater within the shallow aquifer to be below
a depth of 4.7m begl.
The existing foundations for the property were encountered between 600mm &
1350mm below existing lower ground floor level, in the natural material. The main rear
wall foundation comprised brick only with no corbelling. The tarden walls and side walls
generally have brick corbelling on a mass concrete strip.
Other than those typically found in urban fill material there are no contamination issues
or gas issues on site.
3.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The site investigation has confirmed that the existing ground conditions are suited to
the construction of the proposed basement with no adverse instability, gas or water
ingress issues.
The proposed basement is located to the rear of the main building liner and below
the existing rear closet wing. The existing rear lower ground floor extension will be
reconfigured with the basement extending below the rear extension from party wall to
party wall.
The proposed basement construction would see foundations and retaining structures
being constructed approximately 4.0m below existing lower ground floor and garden
level. Refer to drawings contained within appendix A. Taking a factor of safety of about
3 against shear failure an allowable net bearing pressure of approximately 200 kN/m2
is recommended. Total and differential settlement is expected to be within acceptable
limits and should not exceed 25mm under the anticipated design loadings and should
generally be substantially complete (80% or 10mm) by the end of the construction
period. The new foundations and retaining walls will be designed and constructed in
accordance with the recommendations contained within the site investigation report
contained in appendix C. Refer to calculations contained in appendix b.
MARCH 2013
selwood terrace
The current foundations of the building and the proposed foundations and retaining
walls will be below the zone of influence of the root system of the existing tree located
with the rear garden.
The existing foundation to the rear elevation of the main building, which has been
confirmed as plain, un-corbelled brick located at 600mm below existing ground level,
will be retained and the proposed works will not impact on them.
A mini piled retaining wall will be constructed complete with reinforced concrete
capping beam and internal reinforced concrete liner wall. The piling will be offset from
the rear elevation to provide construction tolerance and the ground beam will be
isolated from the existing foundation using a slip membrane or compressible filler.
The existing foundation to garden wall and adjacent closet wing will be underpinned
to form the new perimeter retaining wall and these works will be carried out in
accordance with normal industry practice, with the pin width limited to 1000mm and
limited number of pins excavated at any given time. This will ensure that ground stability
is maintained and limit the requirement for temporary shoring. For typical details and
sequence of work refer to appendix d.
There are no signs of historic movement within the rear façade or internal walls.
Generally the property and terrace as a whole does not show any signs of long term
movement or structural distress. The walls are suitable robust to allow the works to
progress adjacent to the existing foundations and for underpinning to be carried out
safely and without affecting the integrity of the wall locally or globally. The sections of
existing foundation to garden wall and adjacent closet wing below ground level will
be retained as part of the works, with any projecting brick nibs or corbels removed to
create a flush internal face. The base of the underpin will be integral with the enhanced
base of the retaining wall in order to achieve a bearing stress similar to that created
under the existing foundations.
Although we are changing the depth of the foundations we have designed the
foundation to bear within the same strata, the Kempton Gravels and to have a similar
bearing pressure to the existing foundations. This is proposed to prevent a hard point or
sudden change with the foundation that could lead to hinging and reflected cracking.
The site investigation confirms that the Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete
Classification is AC-1 therefore the buried concrete elements will be designed in
accordance with BRE Special Digest 1 : 2005 for full DS-1 conditions.
Given the nature of the works Party Wall Awards will be required with each adjoining
owner. As part of the party wall process we would seek to carry our structural pre-
condition surveys of the adjoining properties in order to identify any inherent structural
defects prior to commencing site works.

4.0 CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY
Given the nature of the project the construction works would be carried out by a
specialist ground works contractor. A detailed construction methodology will be
developed prior to commencing the works on site. The works are not unusual within
London and there are now a small number of specialist contractors who are practiced
in such works and could undertake this project without affecting the integrity of the
property over, adjacent properties and structures.
The steel box frame to the existing closet wing will be installed prior to commencing
basement excavation in order to reduce the required temporary works and limit
working at height.
The existing brick foundation to rear elevation of main building to be retained with new
concrete works isolated from it and the edge of the foundation should be exposed
by hand digging in order allow the piling to be set out accurately. Piling setting out /
pilling offset from rear wall determined by the minimum nosing distance of the piling rig,
currently assumed to be 250mm to c/l of pile, subject to verification by specialist piling
contractor.
Mini piles to the specialist piling contractors design will be rotary bored and lined as
required. As the general excavations progress the piles are to be fully propped until
capping beam and liner wall are cast. The piles will be constructed integral with a
new reinforced concrete pile cap / ground beam which is to be isolated from existing
foundations using a slip membrane or 50mm compressible fill. The works to the rear
elevation of the main property will be completed with a new reinforced concrete liner
wall, 150mm thick, to be cast to internal face of piled retaining wall and capping beam,
following which any temporary props can be removed. A detailed method statement
will be developed by the specialist contractor prior to commencing.
The exact sequence of construction of the underpinning will be determined by the

specialist contractor in conjunction with the District Surveyor, depending on the
structural environment and access constraints. Typical details and sequence of works
is contained in appendix d. We would anticipate the works progressing as outlined
below.
• The access trench is first excavated, directly underneath the wall to be

underpinned. The length of any base is individually assessed on site with due
regard to the type and condition of the foundation, and structural geometry above.
The maximum length of any underpinning base will be 1000mm.
• Carefully remove and trim back any projecting brick footing to the brick wall.
• Excavate using hand and compressed air tools removing spoil until the design
depth is reached, and removed to muck away conveyor.
MARCH 2013
selwood terrace
• Soils, where unstable in the temporary condition, will be shored. For clays or dense
sands exhibiting effective cohesion, shoring may not be implemented. Shoring
system design will be undertaken by the specialist contractor if required.
• Once the excavation is completed to the design depth and width. The stratum at
the proposed founding depth is confirmed as being appropriate by the engineers.
• The design steel reinforcement will be fixed in the toe section of the underpinning
base. This will be checked by the engineer and building control inspector prior to
concreting.
• Following construction of the toe section, the design steel reinforcement will then
be fixed in the stem (or wall) section. This will be checked by the engineer and
building control inspector prior to concreting.
• A single sided shutter is then erected, and concrete poured to form the
underpinning base up to a maximum of 75mm below the underside of the existing
foundation.
• After 24 hours the temporary wall shutters are removed. The void between the
top of the underpin base and underside of the existing foundation will then be dry-
packed with a mixture of sharp sand and cement (Ratio 3:l).
• A further 24 hours is allowed before adjacent sections can be excavated.

Construction joints, if required, are formed using a suitable shear key or joggle joint.
In exceptional circumstances, dowel bars are incorporated. Typically these are
post drilled and resin fixed with specification as per structural design.
• A record will be kept of the sequence of construction, which will be in strict

accordance with recognised industry procedures. The as-built records will be
updated as necessary and issued to involved parties during the works.
• A detailed construction methodology will be developed prior to commencing the

works on site.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS
The site investigation has confirmed that the existing ground conditions are suited to
the construction of the proposed basement with no adverse instability, gas or water
ingress issues.
The proposed works will not adversely affect the structural integrity or the stability of the
individual property or terrace as a whole.

2.0 PROPOSED BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION

2.1 site investigation

The site investigation comprised the following;

• 1 No continuous flight auger Boreholes to a depth of 8.0m below existing lower

• gas and groundwater monitoring standpipe to a depth of 5.0m in the borehole

• sampling & insitu testing as appropriate to the ground conditions encountered in

• laboratory testing of soil properties and contamination testing.

The preliminary risk assessment, geo-environmental and geotechnical site assessment

In summary the ground conditions encountered were consistent with geological

Groundwater was encountered during the investigation within BH1 at a depth of 6m

3.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

4.0 CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

The exact sequence of construction of the underpinning will be determined by the

• The access trench is first excavated, directly underneath the wall to be

• A further 24 hours is allowed before adjacent sections can be excavated.

• A record will be kept of the sequence of construction, which will be in strict

• A detailed construction methodology will be developed prior to commencing the
