Our
techniques apply when adding new structures:
especially
rock anchor,
microfine cement,
soil nailing,
micropile
installations for
foundation support.
We
specialize in
slope stabilization,
anchors,
permeation grouting,
foundation repair
and support,
grouting,
soil nails,
rock drilling,
micropile installations, and
sinkholes. We
use a
problem-solving approach geotechnical
architecture of buildings, bridges,
water plants, sewage plants, tunnels,
sinkholes,
caisson,
shoring,
underpinning,
agriculture, and
roads
construction. We
are experienced in these applications:
micro piles,
sinkhole repair,
permeation grouting, pressure
grout,
soil nails,
chemical grouting,
micropiles,
compaction grout, and
rock anchors.
Our specialties are
rock anchor,
acrylamide and
compaction grouting,
mini piles,
sinkhole repair,
micropiles,
acrylamide grouting, and
soil nailing.
We will continue to
dedicate ourselves to
excellence,

CHAPTER

Foundation
Investigations
Introduction
The ultimate strength and longevity of any structure depends on the adequacy of its
foundation. Structure Representatives administering projects for the Office of Structure
Construction have the responsibility of ensuring that the foundation work performed on
their projects is of the quality necessary to allow each and every structure to sustain the
design loadings throughout its useful life.
It is essential that Structure Representatives and all personnel working for the Office of
Structure Construction commit themselves to learning the provisions within the Standard
Specifications, Standard Plans, Contract Plans, Special Provisions and all relevant docu-
ments related to each contract they are working on. It has been proven time and time again
that a thorough understanding of all documents related to a particular project and the
effective use of this information leads to the effective administration of structure contracts.
Bridge Construction Memo 2-2.0 states:
“It is the responsibility of the Structure Representative to clear up any problem
areas prior to the start of construction, or as soon thereafter as possible.”
In order to “clear up” problem areas, Structure Representatives must have a thorough
understanding of the information contained within the contract documents. They must
also know who to contact for further information or for advice on solving project problems.
This chapter will give an overview of the foundation investigation process. It will also show
how the Log of Test Borings and Foundation Report for a structure project are developed.
The goal of the chapter is to provide information related to the foundation investigation
process that assists the reader in the interpretation and effective use of the Log of Test
Borings and the Foundation Report during the administration of structure projects.
