Geotechnical Assessment Sample Clauses

Geotechnical Assessment. Four borings will be performed along or near the alignment of the proposed shoreline protection. The borings will be advanced to termination depths of 10 feet below the mudline or the depth of refusal (i.e. where shell or a hard sand layer is encountered), whichever is less. Field strength tests will be performed at each sampling depth at the boring locations. Disturbed soil samples will be collected by means of a sediment sampler or hand auger at each of the four boring locations. Hand-held static cone penetrometer or torvane soil strength shear testing will be performed at each sampling depth. Laboratory tests will include: - Moisture content (ASTM D2216) - Atterberg Limits (ASTM D4318) - Sieve Analysis (ASTM D6913) In addition to the field laboratory testing, a geotechnical data report will be prepared consisting of the following: - Site and project description, - Description of the field exploration and laboratory testing, - Summary table of the laboratory test results, - Boring location plan, - Boring logs, - Short- and long-term settlement calculations for the shoreline protection.

Geotechnical Assessment. 5.1 Site Grading I. Within the building areas - minimum of 98 percent standard Xxxxxxx maximum dry density (SPMDD) for slab-on-grade support. If foundations are to be placed on engineered fill, the fill should be compacted to 100% SPMDD. II. Pavement areas - minimum of 95 percent SPMDD to within 600 mm of final subgrade level and 98 percent SPMDD for the upper 600 mm. III. General backfill including trench backfill and backfill adjacent to foundation walls - minimum of 98 percent SPMDD. • All backfilling and compaction operations should be monitored on a full-time basis by qualified geotechnical personnel to approve material, evaluate placement operations and confirm the specified degree of compaction is achieved uniformly throughout the fill. • Where free-draining backfill is required, or in confined areas, imported granular material conforming to OPSS Granular ‘B’ is recommended.

Geotechnical Assessment. (a) Make reference to the geotechnical assessment under the Feasibility Study and follow up with the identified locations where special geotechnical considerations, assessments and geotechnical submissions are necessary to meet requirements of the GEO of CEDD and describe the considerations to be made in the geotechnical submissions to GEO. (b) Liaise with and seek agreement of GEO and any other concerned parties on any matters of geotechnical concern arising from the proposed works. (c) Prepare and submit a Geotechnical Assessment report to GEO for approval. This report, which shall identify any fundamental geotechnical constraints at the proposed sites and the geotechnical feasibility of the proposed works, should include the following information: (i) An outline of the topography, geology and groundwater conditions of the site. (ii) A general description of the proposed works and discussions of how the existing geotechnical features, such as slopes, retaining walls and adjacent foundations, will affect or be affected by such works. A list of features affected by the proposed works shall be included in the Geotechnical Assessment Report. (iii) A discussion that demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed works, including descriptions and evaluation of construction methods and sequence of works. (iv) Schematic plans and sections of the proposed site formation works and foundation works, taking the above discussion into account. (v) A plan showing the scope and extent of the proposed ground investigation specifying, by reference to Section 15.3 of Geoguide 2: Guide to Site Investigation, the level of independent site supervision of the works to be undertaken. (vi) Recommendations on any investigations of the stability of existing slopes and retaining walls as well as any preventive or remedial works that may be needed. (vii) Description of intended study to assess the potential natural terrain hazards arising from landsliding and boulder/rock falls and any mitigation measures that may be needed. (viii) Determine the extent of any further site investigations, surveys and studies required for detailed design purposes. The requirements for any further site investigation required for detailed design and for preparing reference design of major temporary works which can have contract implications shall be given in the Geotechnical Assessment Report. (d) Submit to GEO a Geotechnical Design Report for checking the geotechnical design of all slopes and retaining w...

  • Environmental Assessment Buyer shall have the right for a period commencing upon execution of this Agreement by both parties and ending on November 28, 2012, to conduct an environmental assessment of the Assets, at Buyer’s sole risk, liability and expense. Seller shall make available to Buyer, during the environmental assessment period described above, Seller’s historical files regarding prior operations on the Assets, and provide Buyer and its representatives with reasonable access to the Assets to conduct the environmental assessment. Buyer shall provide Seller three (3) days prior written notice of a desired date(s) for such assessment and Seller shall have the right to be present during any assessment and, if any testing is conducted pursuant to Seller’s express prior written consent, Seller may require splitting of all samples. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not have the right to drill any test, monitor or other xxxxx or to extract samples of any air, soil, water or other substance from the Assets without Seller’s express prior written consent. If Buyer proposes a reasonable request to drill a test well or extract a sample pursuant to a systematic and customary procedure for the assessment of the environmental condition of the Assets and Seller refuses to grant its consent to such a well or sampling, then Buyer shall have the right, for a period of seventy-two (72) hours following notification of Seller’s refusal to consent, to deliver written notice to Seller of Buyer’s election to exclude from this transaction the portion of the Assets affected by such proposed test well or sample, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly by the Allocated Value of such portion of the Assets so excluded. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Seller ever be obligated to grant its consent to any such test xxxxx or sampling proposed by Buyer, and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any refusal by Seller to grant its consent shall be the limited right contained in the preceding sentence to exclude the affected Assets from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Buyer fails to exercise the right to exclude such Assets by written notice to Seller delivered prior to the expiration of the seventy-two hour period described above, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived such right and shall be obligated to purchase the affected Assets without conducting such testing or sampling or any adjustment of the Purchase Price unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.
