Florida International University - Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum, Miami, Florida Performed a geotechnical engineering study for the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum (46,000SF) for Florida International Museum in Miami, Florida. The purpose of this study was to explore the subsurface conditions at the site to enable an evaluation of acceptable foundation systems for the proposed construction. The proposed construction at the time consisted of a four - story, reinforced concrete structure. Field work included the drilling of twelve (12) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to a depth of 40 feet below the surface, performing two (2) Borehole Permeability Tests (BHP). Confirmed that the site is suitable for the planned construction when viewed from a soil mechanics and foundation engineering perspective. Provided a geotechnical engineering report detailing subsurface and groundwater conditions at the site. Provided geotechnical recommendation that the structure be supported on shallow spread foundations and employ conventional slab - on -grade for the ground floor. Discussed necessary densification of the surficial soils of the site to increase the shear strength and reduce foundation and slab settlements to tolerable values. Also provided geotechnical recommendations regarding the proposed deck structure encroaching into the existing lake; recommendations for the deck foundation were that it be supported on driven piles or augercast piles. Also review density reports performed on footing subgrade and confirmed that the footing subgrade had been satisfactorily compacted to achieve the necessary bearing capacity. Project was completed on time and within budget in 2006. Client: Florida International University; Contact Person: Mr. Robert W. Griffith, R.A., A.U.A. (305) 348 -4090 Pedestrian Bridge over the Carol City Canal, City of Miami Gardens, FI- Performed a geotechnical engineering study for the proposed bridge to be located north of the existing NW 175th Street bridge over the Carol City Canal in the City of Miami Gardens, Florida. 2. Field work included 2 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to 50 feet deep. TSF performed pile capacity analyses for 14 -inch precast prestressed square concrete (PPSC) piles for the pedestrian bridge. TSF provided report summarizing subsurface conditions, i.e. soil stratification /types and groundwater conditions, as well as geotechnical recommendations regarding pile installation and axial capacity. The project was completed on time and within budget in 20011. Client: Kimley -Horn & Associates, Inc.; Contact Person: Mr. Gary Rotay, P.E. (954) 535 -5100 Force Main Route II, North Bay Village, Florida Performed a geotechnical study for the Force Main Route II in City of North Bay Village, Florida (traversing for a length of 13,000 linear feet, along NE 80th street, NE 79th Street, Adventure Avenue, North Treasure Drive to the pump station on Galleon Street). The purpose of this study was to explore the subsurface conditions at the site to enable an evaluation of acceptable construction and site development considerations. Field work included 13 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to depth ranging from 20 to 100 feet below grade. Provided geotechnical report summarizing subsurface conditions and groundwater information. TSF also provided geotechnical recommendations regarding excavations, lateral earth pressures, and other construction considerations. The project was completed on time and within budget in 2009. Client: Kimley -Horn & Associates, Inc.; Contact Person: Mr. Gary Rotay, P.E. (954) 535 -5100 Trail Glades Shooting Range (Phase 1, Package C), Miami, Florida Performed a geotechnical engineering study for the proposed force main to be constructed at the Trail Glades Shooting Range at 17601 SW 8th Street in Miami, Florida. Field work included Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings. Provided detailed information regarding subsurface and groundwater conditions. Also provided geotechnical recommendations for excavations /backfill. Completed on time and within budget in 2010. Town Center Park - Skate Park and Pavilion, Sunny Isles, Florida Performed a geotechnical engineering study for the new outdoor skate park facility with concrete ramps, slabs, stairs, and retaining walls. Improvements to the park also included a pavilion /restroom structure. Field work included Standard Cordova Rodriguez & Assoc., Inc. RFQ #'14 -07 -02 30
