Ground gas protection that starts at the slab
Creating safe homes from the ground up in Leeds
At Skelton Lakes in Leeds, Avant Homes is delivering a large scale residential development designed for modern living. Fend was brought in as a direct contractor to provide specialist ground gas protection across individual housing plots, ensuring families are protected from harmful ground gases before a single wall goes up.
Tailored membranes for site specific risk
Following a detailed site investigation, we supplied and installed a dual system of JUTA GP1 and JUTA GPSAM barrier membranes, selected specifically for the ground conditions at Skelton Lakes. Our qualified installers used machine welding techniques to seal joints across each plot, creating a consistent, high integrity barrier beneath the concrete slabs.
Independently verified for total assurance
Every installation was backed by third party validation and testing from our partner, Geoengineer Ltd, giving Avant Homes complete peace of mind that each plot met the required safety and compliance standards. With the project expected to span four years in total, Fend continues to deliver protection that’s as durable as the homes above.
