Provided geotechnical engineering services to support the design of a new Pump Station and approximately 1000 LF of force main with 3 feet of cover in Pinellas County, Florida.
Provided Geotechnical investigation, soil classification and recommendations for foundation design.
Provided comprehensive geotechnical engineering services for the Custer Avenue CSO Relief Storage Vault project which were performed in two Phases. We evaluated the soil conditions and groundwater levels at the site, and provided recommendations concerning site development and foundation design and construction recommendations for the proposed storage vault. The proposed vault is a new five (5) million gallon buried underground stormwater vault retention consisting of cast-in-place concrete with side walls, overflow weir and box culvert by-pass to storage vault. The foot print of the vault is 58,000 square feet, City of Atlanta, Georgia.
Provided the planned structures included an electrical building, an odor control building, and a wet well for the proposed pump station The wet well shaft was approximately 200 feet deep with circular concrete walls to house pumps and store wastewater.The excavation for the shaft consisted of open cut to top of rock followed by rock excavation by blasting or by shoring the excavation using soldier piles and lagging system. We performed geotechnical explorations, rock coring and laboratory testing to arrive with the most cost-effective foundation system to support the construction.
Provided geotechnical and foundation recommendations for the project vicinity, conduct soil drilling & make recommendations for the foundation design. Also, provided construction oversight, value engineering and inspection. Provided construction materials testing and inspection during Vibro-Replacement for the Biological Treatment and Effluent Pump Station Structures.
Provided engineering recommendations and construction oversight, management & inspection and construction materials testing of soils, concrete and asphalt for the JB Messerly WTP. Construction costs $80 million.
