Leashaw Landslip Update 3

Leashaw Landslip Update 3

The investigation work to find out what caused the Landslip is underway. Boreholes up to 30 metres deep have been drilled to get samples of the soil and rocks. These are then sent away for analysis and the hope is that knowing exactly what is under the ground means that a way can be found to rebuild it so it doesn't start slipping again.

They are also digging larger holes at each end of the slipped area to get a better idea as to how to support all the pipes and cables while the investigation and - eventually - the repair work is carried out.

Once the analysis is done and they know what they've got to deal with we should be able to get a possible timescale for the repair.
