Geotechnical Study. The purpose of the geotechnical investigation is to characterize the geotechnical conditions impacting any proposed trenchless pipelines. The geotechnical investigation will provide geotechnical recommendations relative to the design and construction of the proposed pipeline crossing by trenchless methods. Six (6) exploratory borings are proposed along new improvements at Trojan Way, Orange Ave, Vale Way, 58th Street, and Estele Street. The borings will be drilled at least 5 ft below the proposed pipeline invert elevation. Therefore, boring depths of between 15 and 50 ft below ground surface (bgs). A truck-mounted, small- diameter, hollow-stem auger drill rig is proposed to advance borings to the target depths, however, an air-rotary or air- percussion drill rig may be substituted if effective refusal is encountered during auger drilling. The purpose of the geotechnical investigation will be to evaluate the geotechnical conditions along these pipeline reaches of the alignment and provide geotechnical recommendations relative to the design and construction of the proposed water pipeline. The proposed scope of services may include the following and may be modified based on additional site evaluation and Project information: ▪ Research and review of geotechnical maps and literature pertaining to the site and vicinity, including the previous geotechnical report for this Project if available and any nearby projects. ▪ Research and Review of historic aerial photographs, as-built maps and topographic maps of the area to evaluate the presence/depth of fill. ▪ Field reconnaissance to observe the existing surficial soil conditions along the alignment and to mark out proposed exploratory boring locations. ▪ Communications with Underground Services Alert (USA) agency representatives to check that the proposed subsurface investigation will not affect known buried utilities. ▪ Prepare support data map for City’s IB-511 review process which include boring and test pit locations, proposed equipment, and access routes. ▪ Prepare photolog of existing conditions and access route in support of IB- 511 document. ▪ Backfill boring locations in accordance with San Diego County Department of Environmental Health requirements. Patch the boring location in accordance with SDG-123. ▪ Geotechnical laboratory testing of the soil samples obtained. Laboratory tests are anticipated to include, at a minimum, grain-size classification, expansion index, Atterberg limits, moisture/density, m...
Geotechnical Study. The Consultant shall conduct a geotechnical study will feed into the structural design in subsequent tasks. The geotechnical scope shall include: ▪ Reconnaissance of the site and vicinity to observe surface conditions, check for areas of obvious geotechnical concern, select and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ locations. ▪ Exploration of subsurface conditions at the site with penetration tests (CPTs) and shallow borings. ▪ Geotechnical laboratory tests to evaluate the physical properties of the onsite soils. The types of laboratory tests to be performed will depend upon the subsurface materials encountered, but most likely will consist of grain size distribution, plasticity, moisture content, density, and strength. ▪ Prepare a Geotechnical Study report signed stamped and signed by a CA licensed Geotechnical Engineer. The report will include: 1) a site plan with the boring locations, 2) local geology, seismicity, and potential geologic hazards; 3) boring logs and CPT plots with laboratory test results; 4) a summary of subsurface conditions; 5) discussions pertaining to geotechnical feasibility and design considerations; 6) evaluations and conclusions regarding appropriate foundation types for new structures; 7) conceptual-level design recommendations.

Geotechnical Study. ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ has retained the services of Ardaman & Associates, Inc. to perform the following Geotechnical services for the Road Extension: The scope of our work will include determining if the soil characteristics are suitable to construct the proposed roadway improvements and bridge. The normal seasonal high groundwater table will be estimated at the boring locations. The following summarizes our proposed scope of work and associated fees for conducting the subject exploration. The field exploration program will include the following: Description Number of Borings Maximum Depth Below Ground Surface {feet) The number of roadway borings is based on a general frequency of one boring per 100 feet of new 2- lane roadway. The SPT borings will be drilled using a procedure similar to the Standard Penetration Test outlined in ASTM D-1586. The borings will be sampled at 18-inch intervals to 15 feet and at 2.5-foot intervals thereafter. The auger borings will be drilled using a 4-inch diameter truck-mounted continuous flight auger or a 3.5-inch manual bucket auger. Each sample will be removed from the sampler or auger in the field and then examined and visually classified by our crew chief. Representative portions will be sealed and packaged for transportation to our laboratory for further analysis as required. Water level observations will be made in the boreholes during the drilling operation. The SPT borings will be grouted upon completion. The remaining borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings upon completion. Routine laboratory visual classification will be performed along with specific classification tests deemed necessary (i.e., sieve analysis, organic content and Atterberg limits). LBR tests will be performed for use in pavement design. Engineering analysis of all data obtained will be made to evaluate general subsurface conditions and to develop engineering recommendations to guide site preparation and foundation support for the proposed roadway improvements. The results of the LBR tests will be used to determine a Design LBR value for your use in pavement design. For the bridge, we will perform static pile capacity analyses using the FB-Deep Computer program for square concrete piles and steel H- piles. In addition, we will provide an estimate of the normal seasonal high groundwater table at the boring locations. Findings and data relative to the various components of the project developed during the exploration program will be submitted in written re...
Geotechnical Study. It is assumed due to the existence of structures and underground systems at the facility, and to the assumption that subsurface problems have not been encountered in the past, that a site- specific geotechnical will not be required;
