☐ Soils and Geotech Report

A geotechnical site investigation is requested to be conducted to the level necessary for the R.O.W. acquisition and construction of the subject proposed roadway improvement project. Foundation Reports for bridges and retaining walls will be requested separately by the Structures Division.

The geotechnical site investigation report should include but not be limited to recommendations for slope design verification, embankment stabilization, earthwork shrink\swell characteristics, acid producing properties of earthwork, and subgrade evaluation (CBR). We ask that the information be submitted by: Click here to enter a date.
