Supporting Quality In ERSS Ground Support Works
Ground Support and Stabilisation Works for Earth Retaining and Stabilising Structures (ERSS) Certification provides a framework for assessing ground support and stabilisation works against established standards, normative documents and applicable requirements.
In December 2022, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) launched an accreditation programme for the certification of ground support and stabilisation works for ERSS under the Specialist Builder certification framework.
Supporting Quality & Compliance In Ground Support Works
Certification helps provide a structured approach to assessing the installation and control of ground support and stabilisation works, supporting quality, consistency and compliance throughout construction.
What We Assess
The certification programme covers various ground support and stabilisation techniques used for Earth Retaining and Stabilising Structures. The applicable scope depends on the type of works and certification requirements.
Installation of ground anchor systems to provide support and restraint for earth retaining structures and stabilise retained ground.
Installation of soil nailing systems to reinforce and stabilise soil masses for earth retaining and ground support works.
Application of high-pressure grout injection to improve soil strength, stability and ground conditions for ERSS works.
Mixing of cementitious binders with in-situ soil to improve ground strength, stability and engineering properties.
Installation of reinforcement materials within fill to improve the stability and structural performance of retained ground.
Application of sprayed concrete to provide surface protection, ground support and stabilisation for ERSS structures.
From Application To Certification
Our certification process provides a structured approach to assessing ground support and stabilisation works, installation processes and quality control arrangements against the applicable ERSS certification requirements.
Certification Based On SAC Requirements
The ERSS certification programme was established by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC), with certification based on applicable standards, normative documents and general requirements for ground support and stabilisation works.
