As a Field Technician, - provided "Grading Control",
from a geotechnical standpoint during rough grading of major commercial,
industrial, institutional and residential projects.
"Grading Control" Includes: a)
Extensive experience with slope stabilization procedures on over
fifteen projects. b)
Implementing and modifying, when necessary, recommendations
described in the Site Investigation Reports and insuring that the
grading contractor adheres to those recommendations as well as the
grading ordinance for the area. c)
Additional investigation and evaluation of the property as
grading progresses, i.e.: encountered seepage pits, foundations, wells,
irrigation lines undiscovered old fill deposits, additional evaluation
of alluvial deposits, etc., including recommendations for demolition
and/or removals. d)
Observation of removal excavations. e)
Density testing of fills for determination of proper compaction
during grading. f)
Utilizing expert judgment during the evaluation and selective
soil sampling of graded building pads for expansiveness. g)
Evaluation and selective sampling of street subgrade soils for
"R" Value/CBR Determinations and pavement designs. 2)
Site Development Observations Include: a)
Observation of footing excavations, drilled pile excavations, and
footing / slab moisture penetration inspections.
b) Retaining wall backfill
compaction testing. Keystone
wall and criblock wall construction observation and backfill compaction
testing. Observation of
temporary slope and back cut excavations during construction.
c) Observation of sheet pile
installation. Observation
of tieback placement and stressing operations. d) Utility trench backfill and street R/W compaction testing. |
