Ground truth on the A14

You're a civil engineering technician on the A14 Cambridge–Huntingdon scheme. A new embankment has to cross former quarry land, and the ground investigation has come back patchy — peat and made ground where the design assumed firm clay. The design engineer needs your interpretation today. Whatever you issue, the road sits on it for the next hundred years.

You're a civil engineering technician on the A14 Cambridge–Huntingdon scheme. A new embankment has to cross former quarry land. The ground investigation is back — and it's patchy. The design engineer needs your interpretation by end of day; the bypass is on a tight programme, and whatever you issue, the road sits on it for the next hundred years.
