The instrumentation <br />was to monitor settlement on the existing <br />rail lines during pile installation. In <br />addition, provided dynamic testing and <br />pile installation services. <br />Adam G. Kirk, PE <br />Deep Foundations, Geotechnical Engineer <br />Adam Kirk has 12 years experience in geotechnical, deep foundations testing and <br />design, Pile Driving Analysis (PDA) on various sizes and shapes of concrete, steel, <br />and timber piles, Cross-Hole Sonic Logging (CSL), Embedded Data Collector (EDC) <br />services, and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services. Adam has managed a wide <br />range of projects throughout Florida including PDA for all types of driven pile <br />foundations on FDOT projects and other numerous bridges, Pile Integrity Testing <br />(PIT) of deep foundations, EDC data collection on concrete driven piles, CSL testing <br />for drilled shaft foundations, vibration monitoring, settlement monitoring, pre- <br />construction/post-construction surveys and geotechnical/deep foundation design <br />for FDOT bridges and roadways. <br />Adam’s primary focus is on the deep foundation and geotechnical side of <br />construction. His responsibilities have included serving as project engineer and <br />project manager. Duties have included providing various deep foundation testing <br />services and analysis for both FDOT and private municipal clients throughout the <br />state as well as subsurface evaluation, preparation of foundation and pavement <br />design, surcharge settlement monitoring, resistivity testing and test pit evaluation. <br />He has also been responsible for geotechnical projects across the state. Geotechnical <br />design services included deep foundations (driven piles, drilled shafts, auger cast <br />piles, pile and drilled shaft inspection), Pile Integrity Testing (PIT), shallow foundation <br />design, retaining wall design, roadway and pond/drainage design, stormwater <br />management, settlement monitoring data interpretation/acquisition, soil resistivity <br />data interpretation/acquisition, vibration monitoring data acquisition/interpretation, <br />pre/post construction surveys, laboratory soil testing, test pits and unsuitable <br />material estimation, miscellaneous geotechnical designs, and geotechnical <br />construction design for various Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), city, <br />county, and private sector projects.
