<br /> <br />cabinets, transformers, and switchgear. P&D coordinated with all other underground utilities, provided <br />construction assistance, and prepared as-built drawings at completion of the project. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Town of Palm Beach Electrical Undergrounding <br />Palm Beach, FL <br />Completion Date: 2016 <br /> <br />The Town of Palm Beach wanted to replace overhead wires (power, <br />cable and phone) along the roadways within three specific areas. <br />The overhead lines would be replaced with new underground lines <br />that would bear less than 10 feet below the pavement grade <br />(usually at about 3 feet deep). The subject areas included. <br /> <br />▪ North End: All the roadways between Onondaga Avenue north <br />to East Inlet Drive <br />▪ South End: The eastern shoulder of South Ocean Boulevard, <br />from about 3031 to about 3456 South Ocean Boulevard <br />▪ Ibis Isle: All the roadways within Ibis Isle <br /> <br />Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) provided geotechnical study services and geotechnical <br />engineering recommendations for the subject areas. The firm’s field testing/exploration program <br />included obtaining underground utility clearance and right-of-way (ROW) permits, drilling Standard <br />Penetration Test (SPT) borings, core samples, and maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan. The recovered <br />asphalt cores were measured for thickness, and the base and subgrade materials were visually examined <br />in Terracon’s laboratory to determine their engineering classification. The firm also provided <br />recommendations pertaining to subsoils that require removal (if any), excavations, dewatering, pipe <br />bedding, backfill materials, and compaction requirements. <br /> <br />Kendall Lake Neighborhood Stormwater Project <br />Pompano Beach, FL <br />Completion Date: 2016 <br /> <br />The City of Pompano Beach planned to improve the stormwater <br />management system within the residential neighborhood known as <br />Kendall Lake. The improvements would consist of the installation of <br />drainage inlets, pipelines, horizontal exfiltration trenches and a <br />retention area. Vertical exfiltration trenches installed to 20 feet deep <br />were also being evaluated as a potential stormwater management <br />component for this project. Terracon drilled SPT borings along the <br />proposed pipeline alignment and permeability tests within areas of <br />the proposed drainage improvements. The firm also provided <br />information regarding the impacts of subsoils on the design and <br />construction of the project, and appropriate geotechnical oriented
