Geotechnical Investigation (NOVA Sample Clauses

Geotechnical Investigation (NOVA. The proposed scope of services for NOVA Engineering and Environmental (NOVA) is designed to evaluate a select portion of the proposed roadway improvements along the existing West Beach Drive alignment from 6th Street to Xxxxxxxx Avenue to assess the subsurface conditions as they pertain to the presence of organic materials, loose or otherwise unsuitable soils, and groundwater. NOVA anticipates that pavement cores and subsequent boring data will be sufficient to perform the required roadway borings. All drilling, sampling and testing on this project will be conducted in accordance with ASTM procedures or other applicable standards and practices. Proposed Field Exploration Field services necessary to perform the geotechnical services consist of the following: • Performing seven (7) pavement cores, with 5-foot hand auger borings to be performed subsequent to the coring. The cores will be located on approximate 350-foot to 500-foot centers between core locations, with some variance to place core locations in specific areas where poor or questionable pavement conditions are observed along the alignment. The core locations will be patched with quick-setting grout or cold-patch asphalt upon completion of each boring. • Soil samples for the auger borings will be grab samples obtained from the auger cutting bucket. • Upon completion of the borings, the depth to groundwater will be measured. Soil cuttings from the drilling process will be used for backfilling of the boreholes and cold patch asphalt materials will be utilized to repair the pavement cores. • Obtaining digital photographs of the existing pavement area present within select portions of the existing roadway alignment, to be included in the final report as supporting documentation of pavement conditions that will be discussed in the body of the report. • Measuring thicknesses of both the asphaltic concrete and underlying base materials. • Coordinate and provide MOT personnel and equipment to provide temporary lane closures for work performed in existing roadway areas. Laboratory Testing NOVA’s proposed laboratory testing program will include visual classification of the soil samples collected during the drilling process in accordance with the AASHTO classification system. Laboratory testing will include limited classification tests (i.e., grain-size analyses, natural moisture content tests, organic content tests, Atterberg limits tests, etc.) of representative soils. At this time XXXX recommends the follo...
