Geotechnical Engineering. The Design Professional shall, during the Schematic Design Phase, submit to the Owner a statement of necessary geotechnical or soils engineering services that will be required. If the Design Professional does not believe the services of a Geotechnical Engineer are required for the project, a written notice of such shall be provided to the Owner stating same. Geotechnical engineering and any necessary surveys shall be Owner-provided, an Additional Service or a reimbursable expense.
Geotechnical Engineering. 1. Perform a geotechnical analysis of the alignment utilizing a qualified geotechnical laboratory to determine subsurface conditions and make recommendations regarding design parameters. The analysis shall include the following:
Geotechnical Engineering. FNI will provide geotechnical engineering support for the design of concrete pavement (permanent), asphalt pavement (temporary), foundation support recommendations for two (2) culverts and retaining walls (up to 10 feet in height). It should be noted that the geologic atlas of Texas indicates that the Xxxxxxx formation occurs in the northern half of the project limits and the Woodbine formation occurs in the southern half of the project limits. This is mentioned since the pavement subgrade could be different between these two formations and may require different approaches to pavement subgrade treatment. The following geotechnical engineering work will be completed: • Field Exploration o Select and mark up to eight (8) boring locations and notify Texas 811 and CITY departments to request location and marking of existing underground utilities prior to the field exploration. o Due to limited ROW outside the roadway, the borings will be drilled through the existing pavement. Traffic control will be set up to close one lane of traffic and route vehicles around the drilling zone. We are anticipating flagmen will be needed to direct the traffic. If areas of ROW are available and clear of existing utilities, the boring will be drilled off the pavement. o Subcontract with a geotechnical drilling contractor to drill up to eight (8) borings to a depth of 20 feet. Samples will be collected intermittently using continuous flight augers and either split-spoon or tube samplers. Rock and rock-like materials will be tested insitu using a TxDOT Cone Penetration Test, as appropriate for the material. At completion, the boreholes will be backfilled with auger cuttings and the pavement patched (borings drilled through pavement). o Provide an Engineer or Geologist experienced in logging borings to direct the drilling, log the borings, and handle and transport the samples. Visual classification of the subsurface stratigraphy shall be provided per the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). • Laboratory Testing o Testing shall be performed on samples obtained from the borings to determine soil classification and pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface materials. FNI will select samples for laboratory testing, assign tests, and review the test results. Testing will be performed by a geotechnical testing subcontractor. o Laboratory tests will be assigned based on the specific subsurface materials encountered during exploration. Test type and quantity may vary, but ar...
Geotechnical Engineering. Consultant shall provide Geotechnical Engineering services for City projects during earthwork construction operations that the City Engineer determines are necessary to meet finished grades shown on the plans and cross sections. Consultant shall provide Geotechnical Engineering observation during site preparation for placement of fill and construction of sub-drainage systems. Consultant shall make recommendations regarding the removal of unsuitable materials for fills and methods of compaction based upon previous geotechnical investigations and Consultant’s own observations. For tests results that failed, Consultant shall provide analysis of the failure and a recommendation of possible solutions in a signed &stamped report to the City. On tests that passed, Consultant shall state so in the signed and stamped report provided to the City. Said reports shall include the appropriate specifications next to the test results.
Geotechnical Engineering. The A-E will conduct a geotechnical exploration program to evaluate, as well as supplement data, on geotechnical/geologic conditions within the project area to support the grading and liner design plan. The exploration will include geologic mapping, a limited trenching and boring program, laboratory testing, and slope stability analyses. If necessary, a supplemental field exploration will be performed for geologic and geotechnical characterization of the area to design any landslide mitigation measures, such as a soil buttress.

Geotechnical Engineering. The services of a geotechnical engineering firm will be retained by the CONTRACTOR (see SC-06). A representative of the geotechnical engineer shall be present at the site to observe site grading, trenching and backfilling work, and other work, and to take field density tests. Also, the geotechnical engineer will perform laboratory testing of CONTRACTOR-submitted soils to determine their acceptability for use as base course, subbase and fill materials. The geotechnical engineer shall also perform compaction tests for embankments, subbase, base course and trench and structural backfill. The Geotechnical Engineer’s authority shall be as described in DHHL Construction General Conditions, Section 5.4 (March 2014). The CONTRACTOR shall request compaction tests a minimum of 48-hours in advance. Sufficient time shall be allotted to perform field and laboratory tests prior to the placement of material. Resultant delays shall be governed by Section 7.21 of the DHHL Construction General Conditions (March 2014). The CONTRACTOR shall be held responsible for the following geotechnical testing costs:
Geotechnical Engineering. Geotechnical engineering services will include field exploration, testing, analysis and a Foundation Report prepared to County and Caltrans standards with bridge footing type recommendation.
