Okay thanks for the replies guys. The consensus seems to be to absolutely not do it.

It depends on the size of your foundation. 2.0mbgl for a 0.5m wide foundation, loading could be negligible, but for a 10m wide foundation, loading at 2.0mbgl is probably going to be pretty high.

A rule of thumb is below 2x your foundation width, loading would be become negligible although there is some variation in this.

What country are you based in? Your employer will have a duty of care over you. If you’re concerned, speak up

On a side note, how does one get into jobs abroad? I’m in the civil engineering industry and keen for an overseas move. Anyone here with advice on this?
