When all the stabilisation works required beneath your property have been completed and verified, you will receive a ‘Statement of Completion’. This will certify that the mines beneath your property have been stabilised. This document is most significant and should be retained in a safe place.

The Statement is in three parts.

The first part is a certificate, signed by the design consultants for the Project, certifying that the mines beneath your property have been stabilised. It will refer to the pre and post condition surveys taken of your property and specify any repair works to your property, that, if required were undertaken.

The second section of the Statement is a map, showing your property curtilage overlaid on the mine area(s) beneath your property. The work within these mine area(s) will have associated construction completion reports and these will be referenced on the map.

The third section of the Statement is a report, outlining the work carried out in the mines beneath your property. This will record amongst other things, the materials used and will reference the methodology, giving appropriate references to the construction reports, as-built drawings, concrete pour records and photographic evidence as the work proceeded. It will describe how any roadways were fi lled in and what drill holes were used to verify that the infi ll process was satisfactory.

It will be drawn from and will reference the much more comprehensive mine completion reports, which will be available, should they be required in the future, from the Council’s archives. Also held in the archives will be copies of the technical specifi cations and other data referring to the works.

The three sections of the Statement of Completion are the record of the work carried out under your property and document the considerable investment towards the future of our community by Communities and Local Government.
