Penetration Test (SPT) borings. Provided geotechnical recommendations to address organics layers encountered. Provided discussion of options which included surcharge, geosynthetic, soil mixing, mat foundation, and pin piles. Completed on time and within budget in 2010. Eden Lakes Park — Shade and Play Structure, Miami, Florida Performed a geotechnical engineering study. Field work included a Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring. Provided detailed information regarding subsurface and groundwater conditions. Provided geotechnical engineering recommendations for shallow foundation design. Completed on time and within budget in 2013. Parking Garages D & E, Port of Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida Provided geotechnical services for the design of two six -story parking garages located within the Port of Miami facility. Field work included drilling twelve (12) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to a depth of 80 to 100 feet below the surface. Provided geotechnical recommendations regarding foundation soil preparation requirements, foundation types, depths, allowable bearing capacities, an estimate of potential settlement, and comments regarding factors that may impact construction. Also provided construction material testing and threshold inspection Services for the construction of Parking Garage D, a four -story parking garage (designed for future 6 stories) for 738 cars. Testing/lab services included Modified Proctor, LBR values on structural fill, subgrade, base and backfill material, Sieve Analysis tests in conjunction with Proctor tests, Test compressive strength concrete cylinders, grout prisms and cylinders for auger - cast -pile. Performed In- Place- Density testing on structural fill, subgrade, base and utility backfill soils, Conducted slump, and temperature testing on concrete, molded compressive strength test cylinders, masonry grout prisms and auger- cast -pile cylinders. Performed and monitored test piles and load test program, provided pile inspector to monitor auger -cast pile installation, and provided technician to monitor asphalt placement. Provided pile inspector to observe placement of test piles and perform compression, tension and lateral load tests and to observe installation of production piles. Provided Licensed Building Inspector to observe placement of reinforcing steel in pile caps, slab -on- grade, masonry walls, and all inspections necessary to comply with threshold inspection plan. Also performed inspection of weld connections and attachments. Completed on time and within budget in 2009. MIC- Earlington Heights Metrorail Connector, Miami -Dade Transit (MDT), Miami -Dade County, Florida Performed geotechnical services for the MIC - Earlington Heights Metrorail Connector in Miami -Dade County. The project consisted of the construction of the extension of the metrorail from MIC to Earlington Heights Station and the guideway structure was supported on deep foundation system (drilled shafts & auger cast piles). As a geotechnical consultant for the Contractor, reviewed shaft and pile installation data, load test results, pile /shaft integrity test results and performed capacity evaluation for those shafts and piles that did not meet the design requirements and provided recommendation for foundation redesign. Completed on time and within budget in 2010.
