Frequently asked questions

Will house foundations be affected?

Properly built buildings in the Fens are constructed in such a way that peat shrinkage does not affect the foundations. Typically this is done by piling through the peat to the clay beneath. Because of this changing the hydrology in the Great Fen area will not have a significant impact on the buildings there. To check this the project partners will be commissioning a civil engineering study to look more at this issue.
