Grosey Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 In order to apply for my site insurance I need to provide a method statement for the construction of the retaining wall. Does anybody have an example of one they could provide for guidance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sounds like one for the contractor/engineer..?? Who's done the design for the wall..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divorcingjack Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We had to provide one to get our JCT insurance for close-to-next-door excavation. Our structural engineer had to do a full soil investigation, report, drawings and specifications of the way he wanted it done (excavation hit and miss pattern, type of hardcore, compaction methods and number of layers etc). It was very detailed, and correspondingly expensive. If your wall has been designed by an engineer, then ask them. It'll cost you, but means that your public liability should pay up (if necessary) as you have a document to refer to as the blueprint of "how it should be done".

Grosey Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi Anna, I've replied to your PM but just for future forum reference... i got my site insurance with https://www.selfbuild.uk.com/ who had no questions regarding the retaining wall so the issue was avoided. 18 months was about £550 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
