Meeting with the technical experts 10/02/25 - action points (digging holes!)

Dear @reeflings,

We had a first kick-off meeting with 2 technical experts (for statics and special technics) yesterday.

The detailed (and somewhat confused) minutes can be found here.

The only two action points for us that came out of this meeting are

  1. Contacting the neighbour on the right side of the plot (“the millionaire”) to find out whether he has a basement. Does anyone have the contact details of that neighbour or would be willing to investigate?

  2. Dig 6 holes where our future buildings and the neighbouring buildings meet to find out about the (depth of their) foundations. The technical expert will send a map with the precise locations and would need to inspect the holes in about a month time. They should be roughly 50x50cm wide and maximum 80cm deep. Any (strong) volunteers for the task? Could maybe also combined with a site visit/a gathering on the site?

I can dig some holes on Saturday 22 February, and combine it with a site visit for the new Associate Members…

Thanks a lot @ChrisM! I’ll let you know as soon as we get the plans!

I can help and have the stength to measure size and depth of said holes, and tell Chris when to stop.

@Lee we didn’t get a chance to talk after the plenary but I can do this if you’d like (it seemed to me that you preferred to do it yourself, but I thought I would check).

Hi @Sarah,

Thanks for the offer. It had dropped off my radar to be honest, so grateful if you would be willing to take this up.

The question to ask the guy is whether and where he has an underground on his plot. The technicians want to know so that they can take precautions to not break anything once we start building.

Can you please save his details in the neighbours folder in Team External (Login – Nextcloud) and let us know about the outcome before you leave? If that’s would be difficult, no problem of course. Happy to take back the task.

TIA!

@ChrisM we have received the plans for where to dig holes!
Apparently, hole nr. 5 is not necessary if the neighbour has a fully fledged basement, but not sure we’ll have this info on time… (A noter que pour le sondage S5, il faudrait s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de cave au niveau du voisin de droite ( 461 – 463 – 465 ). Si une cave totale est présente, il n’est pas nécessaire de réaliser le sondage S5. Si la cave est partielle ou inexistante, il faudra le réaliser (dans la zone non cavée).

All clear @Sophie_B !

Five holes of 50x50x80, in the right places. I’ll dig the fifth one (S5) any way…

Any @reeflings who would like to reconnect with the site, Joannes and I (and possibly Dave) will be there on Saturday from 2pm. Joke and Axel will also be visiting for a wander around… :slight_smile:

And we will bring along Senna and her shovel (perfect for building sandcastles) … :slight_smile:
