MATERIAL TfST1NG : lNSPE010N SERVICES <br /> <br />Tierra South Florida, Inc. (TSF) has the qualified, available and proven individuals to ensure projects are <br />completed to the highest standards. Our professional staff has been providing Geotechnical Engineering and <br />Laboratory Testing Services for over 20 years. Our professional staffs collective project experience includes <br />over 100 roadway and drainage projects within south Florida. Along with our expertise, our team brings <br />extensive local knowledge and experience. Withill Miami-Dade COUllty, our professiollal staff has successfully <br />completed over 400 projects ill the last five years. Weare therefore extremely familiar with local conditions as <br />well as the quick mobilization of resources within Miami-Dade County. Below are some project examples for <br />reference. <br /> <br />Project Name: MDX Widening ofSR 874 from SW 881/1 Street to SR 826, Miami-Dade County, Florida <br />Project Description: This project involves about 3 miles of roadway improvements. The geotechnical study <br />includes roadway soil survey, widening of the bridge over Snapper Creek Canal, and MSE wall along the <br />roadway. <br /> <br />Project Name: Krome Avenue from SR 94 (Kendall Drive) to SR 90 (Tamiami Trail), Miami, Florida <br />Project Description: Performed a preliminary roadway soil survey for Krome Avenue from SR 94 (Kendall <br />Drive) to SR 90 (Tamiami Trail) in Miami, Florida (approximately 5 miles). The purpose of this study was to <br />provide geotechnical (i.e. soils and groundwater) input to the design team to assist in evaluation of the merits of <br />the potential roadway improvements, including realignment of existing roadway. Field work included 256 auger <br />borings. Utilities (30 inch force main, water main, electrics, etc.) were to remain in place were factored into <br />geotechnical recommendations and proposed options. Geotechnical recommendations included the discussion of <br />various options such as surcharge, reinforced soil platform, geosynthetic, demucking and soil mixing. Also <br />provided geotechnical recommendations involving pennanent cut/fill slopes, excavations, groundwater control, <br />pavement design, and on site soil suitability. <br /> <br />Project Name: New Bridge on NW 87th Avenue over Miami Canal, Miami-Dade County, Florida <br />Project Description: Performed geotechnical study and provided shallow and deep foundation <br />recommendations for a new bridge over Miami Canal. <br /> <br />Project Name: North Bay Road Pedestrian Bridge and Observation Deck, City of Sunny Isles, Florida <br />Project Description: Project consisted of the construction of a bridge over a canal connected to intra-coastal <br />waterway and located in- between NE 172 and NE 174 streets in the City of Sunny Isles, Florida. The study <br />was perfonned to explore the subsurface conditions within the general vicinity of the bridge locations in order to <br />identify the general subsurface stratigraphy and provide geotechnical recommendations to guide the design and <br />construction. Field work included a total of six (6) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings for the bridge and <br />associated walls. Visually classified and stratified the samples in the laboratory using the Unified Soil <br />Classification System (USCS). Limited laboratOlY testing was conducted. <br /> <br />Project Name: Force Main Route 11, City of North Bay Village, Florida <br />Project Description: Performed a geotechnical study for the proposed Force Main Route in City of North Bay <br />Village, Florida (traversing for a length of 13,000 linear feet, along NE 80th street, NE 79th Street, Adventure <br />A venue, North Treasure Drive to the pump station on Galleon Street). The purpose of this study was to explore <br />the subsurface conditions at the site to enable an evaluation of acceptable construction and site development <br />considerations. Field work included 13 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to depth ranging from 20 to 100 <br />feet below grade. Provided geotechnical report summarizing subsurface conditions and groundwater <br />information. TSF also provided geotechnical recommendations regarding excavations, lateral earth pressures, <br />and other construction considerations. <br /> <br />2130 <br />
