  • Geology of the London Basin
    Geology of the London Basin - 100 Million Years in the Making on 16 November 2018 Mr Philip Laurie first showed a geological map of London produced in 1848 by Stanford – the first of its kind. The Earth is 46,000 million years old, so much had happened before the London area made an appearance. The geological history of London started a hundred million years ago. For 60% of that time it has been under ice, causing sea levels to fall. He lives near the Ravensbourne, which rises south of the North Downs, runs through them and north to the Thames, emerging at Deptford Creek. How did it, and other rivers such as the Wandle, Darent and Medway, come to flow through the North Downs? At one time it was thought that there were faults in the chalk which gave them a way through, but this has been discounted. The Weald is now low lying, but when tectonic plate movement, mainly caused by Africa colliding with Europe, raised not only the Alps but buckled strata in northern Europe, a Wealden ridge was formed. An underlying chalk stratum buckled with high ridges at the South and North Downs and a dip under the Weald, squeezing up the soft sedimentary rocks between them to form the Ridge. Fast flowing streams from the ridge soon eroded channels in the chalk on their way to the sea. The ridge has since been eroding away (reducing river flows). They are ancient rivers. London is over a layer of cretaceous chalk about 40m down, which in turn is over gault clay.

A single lining design solution was developed for all tunnels using a fully gasketed, steel-fibre-reinforced, concrete segmental lining suitable for use in all potential ground conditions anticipated along the alignment. The £14·8 billion Crossrail project faced many challenges, including dealing with significant quantities of different excavated material while minimising the environmental impact from transportation and disposal, minimising settlement effects and dealing with multiple tunnel-boring machine launches and receptions. This paper addresses how the issues were tackled and comments on the tunnel-boring machine design and the approach taken for survey control. Outline figures are also provided for the tunnelling rates. Finally, some conclusions and recommendations are made based on the observations and lessons learnt during the project.

  • Deoxygenated Gas Occurrences in the Lambeth Group of Central London

Skipper2 4 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, London, SW7 5 2AZ, United Kingdom. *[email protected] (corresponding author) 6 2Geotechnical Consulting Group, 52A Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BE, United Kingdom and 7 Department of Mineralogy, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, SW7 5BD 8 3,307 words (200 abstract; 3,120 main text) 9 3 tables, 12 figures, 39 references 10 Abbreviated Title: Deoxygenated Gas in London 11 Abstract: Deoxygenated gas poses a serious and life-threatening hazard (confined space hypoxia) for engineering 12 projects in London, particularly those in the Upnor Formation of the Lambeth Group. We review its causes and 13 postulate that it is induced by dewatering or positive pressure tunnelling bringing air into contact with these 14 sediments, causing oxidation. Subsequent resaturation results in pockets of deoxygenated gas. Drawdown of the 15 Lower Aquifer during the industrial growth of London brought air into contact with Lambeth Group sediments on a 16 regional scale. Its recharge has trapped and compressed deoxygenated gas beneath overlying impermeable clays. 17 Historically, the mineral glauconite has been blamed for these hazards, but it lacks potency as a reducing agent and 18 remains unaltered in many oxidised Lambeth Group sediments. Pyrite and organic carbon are both plausible but a 19 more potent agent is green rust, which readily and rapidly oxidises on contact with air, and which is only briefly 20 observed in fresh core samples.

  • Western Regional Group
    Western Regional Group The Latest Findings in the Lambeth Group Dr Jacqueline Skipper, Senior Consultant, GCG Tuesday 20th July 2021 Zoom Talk: opens at 6:15pm for 6:30pm Start The Western Regional Group is pleased to welcome Dr Jackie Skipper who will share her experience and knowledge of working in the Lambeth Group. The Lambeth Group is a relatively thin (c 18m thick in the London Basin, up to c 50m thick in the Hampshire Basin) group of very diverse sediments deposited in highly variable environments ranging from shallow marine to terrestrial. It is often highly coloured due to penecontemporaneous weathering, and can contain cemented layers, aggressive and deoxygenating minerals, and water bearing channels. It thus represents units of relatively high risk for sensitive engineering projects if poorly investigated and understood. The Lambeth Group is a good analogue for coastal- terrestrial sediments in sub-tropical to tropical environments in many other areas of the Earth such as Pleistocene-Holocene sediments in Australia, Malaysia and on the margins of the South China Sea generally. This talk will look at the current understanding of the stratigraphy of the Lambeth including several relatively new discovered sub units, and what risks these may represent. Dr Jackie Skipper is a Senior Consultant at the Geotechnical Consulting Group and has won the Geological Society Engineering Group Award in 2010 and the 18th Glossop Medal in 2010. Her PhD was in the stratigraphy of the Lambeth Group and her specialist areas include the Geology of London and SE England, complex ground conditions and Quaternary features worldwide, and the geology of desert sediments and environments However she is interested in all types of complex ground types and their relationship to risk in tunnelling, foundations and land stability.

The geological setting of the coastal fringes of west Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Peter M. Hopson Introduction This guide covers a significant part of southern Hampshire, a part of West Sussex and the Isle of Wight. The region is founded on Cretaceous and Palaeogene bedrock, the younger forming the final phase of sedimentation of the Hampshire Basin. The bedrock is covered by a thick and extensive succession of Quaternary superficial deposits subdivided into a number of units that represent a long Quaternary history as the landscape was denuded through numerous periglacial/ temperate clmatc cycles. Although the nter-relatonshps and ndvdual depostonal hstores of Quaternary stes are descrbed n more detal elsewhere n ths gude, the regional distribution of superficial deposits can be summarised as follows: early Quaternary residual deposits cap many of the hills and upper valley flanks on the Chalk Downs. An extensive spread of fluvial granular deposits of the proto-Solent Rver and ts trbutares are developed through a large part of the Plestocene and these pass laterally and vertcally to assocated marne and near-shore deposts n response to sea-level fluctuations. Finally, as sea-level rises, Holocene deposits, both fluviatile and marine were laid down as drowned valley fill, present day floodplains and as beach and near-shore deposits within the Solent and English Channel.

  • The Geological Context and Evidence for Incipient Inversion of The
    The geological context and evidence for incipient inversion of the London Basin Contexte géologique et arguments en faveur de l’inversion naissante du bassin londonien R.C. Ghail*1, P.J. Mason2 , J.A. Skipper3 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK 2 Department of Earth Sciences & Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK 3 Geotechnical Consulting Group, 52A Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BE, UK ABSTRACT A reappraisal of ground investigation data across London reveal that a range of unexpected ground conditions, encountered in engineering works since Victorian times, may result from the effects of ongoing inversion of the London Basin. Site investigation bore- hole data and the distribution of river terrace deposits of the Thames and its tributaries reveal a complex pattern of block movements, tilting and dextral transcurrent displacement. Significant displacements (~10 m) observed in Thames terrace gravels in borehole TQ38SE1565 at the Lower Lea Crossing, showing that movement has occurred within the last ~100 ka. Restraining bends on reactivated transcurrent faults may explain the occurrence of drift filled hollows, previously identified as fluvially scoured pingos, by faulting and upward migration of water on a flower structure under periglacial conditions. Mapping the location of these features constrains the location of active transcur- rent faults and so helps predict the likelihood of encountering hazardous ground conditions during tunnelling and ground engineering. RÉSUMÉ Une réévaluation des résultats provenant d’études de terrain à travers Londres a révélé une diversité de phénomènes géologiques inattendus. Rencontrés lors de travaux d’ingénierie depuis l’époque victorienne ils pourraient être causés par les suites de l’inversion du basin londonien en cours.

  • Lithological Characteristics of the Lambeth Group
    PAPER geotechnical properties. This is set in the context of the environment of deposition and also the post-depositional changes that altered these sediments, both of which are necessary to explain the observed .iI:~o oclica diversity. The measured geotechnical properties of the Lambeth Group are highly diverse, often too diverse to draw other than very conservative assumptions on engineering behaviour. This paper sets out to explain c >aracI:eris',ics why and how the sediments were formed and some of the complex processes that affected them. With this in mind, the measured values often obtained from a ground investigation can be appreciated and 'I, understood in a broader sense. Some brief recommendations are made o~ >e .agni )e', i for the treatment of sites where the Lambeth Group is encountered. The group has been increasingly encountered in major civil engineering schemes, for example, in the expansion of the east Thames corridor, the Jubilee Line Extension, the Docklands Light Railway I)roll ) Extension to Lewisham, the planned East London Line, CrossRail and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link.
