Contract Research & Development

A F Howland Associates provide a research and development service whereby we are contracted to assess and evaluate construction processes, describe the basic mechanics and develop guidelines for the use of our clients for their respective projects. We have developed design guidelines for the construction process of soil nailing for use in flood defence systmes for clients sich as the Environment Agency. As part of this service we also described the wider potential of the system, outside of those simply related to embankment stability, as well as exploring the financial options available to the EA for the use of the system.
