Georgia Power Project – Bridge Foundation Investigation, Bartow County, Georgia

The project consisted of the design of two (2) new bridges over Euharlee Creek in Bartow County, Georgia, which is known to be prone to sinkhole development. We performed geotechnical investigations and foundation engineering recommendations for the deep foundation system for the project. We performed Geophysical study including Electrical Resistivity Survey at the site which confirmed that several Karst anomalies existed. We provided remediation plan consisting of grout injection. Our foundation recommendations included H-piles. Geophysical testing, minimum pile tip elevation based on compression/tension and pile installation criteria. We provided quality control inspection and testing for the entire duration of the project.

SR 120 (Abbotts Bridge Road) City of Johns Creek, Fulton County, Georgia

Provided geotechnical services for the existing Pavement Evaluation and Design and Soil Survey along the roadway along SR 120, Abbotts Bridge Road, City of Johns Creek, Fulton County Georgia. The scope included coring of pavement along the project alignment, evaluation of the existing asphalt condition and thickness based on the cores taken, the analyses of existing base and/or subbase materials and performing pavement design for full depth replacement and overlay designs per GDOT requirements.

SR 20 Widening and Improvements Cherokee and Forsyth Counties, Georgia

Provided Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations for the widening/reconstructing SR 20 from an existing two lane rural highway to a divided four-lane rural highway along SR 20 from SR 369 in Cherokee County to SR 371 in Forsyth County. The total length of the road is about 6.5 miles. Provided, Inc. performed pavement study and soil survey.

SR 40 Connector 821, Charlton, Georgia

Provided Geotechnical Engineering Services for the roadway consisting of Pavement Evaluation, Soil Survey and Wall Foundation Recommendation along SR 40 from Conn/Folkston to MP 2.75/E of CR 82, Charlton Counties, GA. The total length of the roadway is approximately 1.9 miles. The project consists of approximately 1.9 miles of pavement overlay, about 1.75 miles of new pavement ranging from 2 to 3 lanes, and one (1) bridge culvert with retaining walls.
