Lifting Pathway

The site was filled to a height of 1m but I suspect may not have been adequately compacted at the time since it is located close to a timber retaining wall. There is no problem with structural integrity of the house foundation as the footings are tied to the slab. The pathway has developed a gap in excess of 70 - 75 mm and has become a tripping hazard. I am considering having it re-laid with piers and suitably spaced dowels to prevent this sort of thing re-occurring in the future but I suspect it will be a fairly expensive proposition.

No, it's the eastern side of the block. Downpipe drains into a drainage pit that discharges into a storm water drain at the street front of the property.

I've had a resin injection company take a look but they have not been able to offer a solution. The resin has limited capability in closing a gap of around 70mm and levelling lifted pathway. The four figure quote I received came without any guarantee.
