Work on a section of the M74 extension will not restart until engineers are satisfied there will be no damage to Glasgow's subway system.
Piling work is suspected to have caused cracks in some subway tunnels last week - disrupting the network.
Subway operator Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) will not "consent" to more piling work until it is satisfied more problems will not arise.

they will be trimmed to the correct level and transfer the load from whatever is going on top of them, road or bridge or whatever, through soft ground to firm natural ground.
the firm ground may be really deep, i worked on sites where piles have been driven 36m underground.
