Soils / Geotechnical Program Clause Samples
Soils / Geotechnical Program. The mission of the Soils/Geotechnical Program is to provide geological and geotechnical engineering recommendations and support for the design, construction and maintenance of CDOT projects involving roadway cut and fill, bridge, retaining wall, and other transportation structure foundations. This Program manages the Western Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction (WAQTC) and CDOT Soils and Embankment Inspector certification for construction soil testers. This Program also manages CDOT’s geotechnical drilling operations, which includes the installation of geotechnical instrumentation for long term monitoring. The Soils/Geotechnical Program works collaboratively with the Geohazards Program and the Regions to evaluate geotechnical and geological hazards such as embankment and slope failures, landslides, sink holes, debris flows and others, as they affect safety and mobility, along with providing emergency services for these features.

The Program also manages CDOT’s geotechnical drilling operations and installs geotechnical instrumentation for long term monitoring. The following are also performed: • Provide support, review and project management for the development of design plans and specifications concerning soil and rockfall projects; • Provide geologic hazards expertise by assessing safety, recommending mitigation alternatives and inspecting mitigation construction; • Provide emergency geological service for CDOT projects; and • Update and administer the Rockfall Management Plan.
