Soils will be sampled by either pushing a thin-walled tube (ASTM D 1587)or with a split barrel sampler <br /> while performing the Standard Penetration Test(ASTM D 1586). Rotary rock coring will be performed <br /> in general accordance with ASTM D2113. This proposal assumes that a truck mounted drill rig will be <br /> used to drill the boring, and traffic control will be required. <br /> If groundwater is encountered, the groundwater level within the open borehole will be recorded at the <br /> time of drilling and immediately following drilling. The borehole will be backfilled with a mixture of <br /> cuttings and bentonite pellets, and capped with at least 2 ft of concrete and surficial cold-patch asphalt, <br /> upon completion of drilling. <br /> Laboratory testing will be performed on recovered samples selected by the geotechnical engineer to aid <br /> in soil classification and to measure engineering properties. Laboratory testing is expected to include <br /> moisture content, Atterberg limits, fines content (percent passing the No. 200 sieve), and unconfined <br /> compression strength testing of soil and rock cores. The actual laboratory program will depend upon <br /> the type of soils and rock encountered. <br /> Reporting <br /> We will Issue an electronic copy of our formal engineering report prepared by a licensed professional <br /> engineer in the State of Texas that will include: <br /> • Description of the field exploration program; <br /> • Description of the laboratory testing program; <br /> • Soil boring plan that depicts borehole locations on a base map provided by Client; <br /> • Soil boring logs with soil classifications based on the Unified Soil Classification System <br /> (ASTM D 2487); <br /> • Generalized site stratigraphy and engineering properties developed from field and <br /> laboratory data at the explored locations; <br /> • Depth to groundwater, if encountered, and potential Impact on construction; <br /> • Recommendations for waterline installation including comments regarding excavation <br /> potential, and bedding and backfill recommendations for bore pits; and <br /> • General recommendations for earthwork and construction. <br /> This report is not intended to serve as a Geotechnical Baseline Report. <br /> Mas Job No.2017-947 Page 2 of 4 <br />
