Environmental, geotechnical and hydrogeologic investigations in support of facility expansion and upgrade of on-site wastewater treatment and disposal facilities for a meat packing plant. Included extensive water quality testing, estimation of site hydraulic capacity using groundwater flow modeling and development of a groundwater monitoring plan.

Geotechnical investigations and environmental site assessment for regional hospital facility and associated medical offices and training center.

Geotechnical investigations for multi-story assisted living facility. Consisted of foundation analysis, mass grading, fill suitability assessment, pavement design, and stormwater management.

Preparation of FDEP permit documents and plans for permitting of an industrial wastewater effluent sprayfield.  Conducted a hydrogeologic study for re-rating of a low rate spray application system.

Detailed groundwater drawdown/dewatering analysis for open pit mine using computer based groundwater flow modeling techniques. Project involved design and permitting of the proposed mine, stability analyses, groundwater modeling of drawdown impacts due to continual dewatering and design of perimeter recharge trenches to protect adjacent wetlands.

Phase 1 and 2 environmental site assessments and remediation of arsenic contamination for a 500 acre proposed single family planned urban development.

Geotechnical investigations for large scale residential development on strongly sloping terrain. Scope included sinkhole assessment of closed form topographical depressions, overall site suitability assessment, mass grading recommendations, and stormwater system analysis and retaining wall design.

Geotechnical and hydrogeologic investigations for a large scale residential development on low lying flood prone lands and wetlands. Scope included wetland probing, site suitability assessment, post development groundwater modeling, mass grading recommendations, pavement design, effluent disposal analysis and underdrain design.

Geotechnical and hydrogeologic investigations for a multi-family apartment development varied upland and lowland conditions. Scope included wetland probing, site suitability assessment, post development groundwater estimation, mapping of confining soils, mass grading recommendations, pavement design, cutoff drain design. In addition, Phase 1 and 2 environmental site assessments were conducted in accordance with ASTM and HUD regulations.

Geotechnical investigations for large scale residential development by Lennar Homes, including investigation of roadways and retention areas, mass grading, and evaluation of stormwater management alternatives.

This landfill site was investigated in detail to define loose subsurface conditions, raveled areas, using SPT borings and CPT borings.  A detailed ground penetrating radar (GPR) was conducted to define subsurface anomalies prior to drilling.  Each loose subsurface zone was delineated and then a demonstration project was conducted where sand slurry was pumped under pressure into two of the subsurface anomalies for stabilization.  Following sand slurry injection, SPT and CPT borings were drilled to verify the effectiveness of the stabilization efforts.  The sand slurry injection and the post remediation drilling was attended by FDEP personnel from Tampa and Tallahassee.  The results indicated adequate subsurface stabilization for a Class 1 landfill support and the method to remediate subsurface loose zones was approved by the FDEP.  This project was successfully permitted through the Tampa FDEP in less than a year.

Geotechnical engineering study to assess the geotechnical considerations for a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) landfill at the Palatka generating facility in Putnam County, Florida.  This study focused on the investigation of subsurface conditions, followed by laboratory testing of natural soil properties and existing landfill materials. Engineering evaluations are conducted addressing settlement potential, bearing capacity of foundation soils, stability of landfill slopes and groundwater considerations.  Also provided QC testing of fill soils, drainage media and subgrade during the construction process.

Detailed geotechnical and environmental studies for design and permitting of Class 1 landfill expansion area.  This work included all services associated with geotechnical evaluation, including detailed soil exploration, bearing capacity, settlement and slope stability calculations. 

Geotechnical and environmental studies for design and permitting of a C and D landfill.  This work included all services associated with geotechnical evaluation, including detailed soil exploration, bearing capacity, settlement and slope stability calculations. Also prepared groundwater monitoring plan and directed well installations.  Directed semiannual and biennial groundwater monitoring for approximately 8 years, from landfill inception to closure.

Detailed geotechnical and environmental studies for design and permitting of a Class 3 landfill.  This work included all services associated with geotechnical evaluation, including detailed soil exploration, bearing capacity, settlement and slope stability calculations. Also prepared groundwater and gas monitoring plans and directed well installations.  Directed semiannual and biennial groundwater monitoring for approximately 6 years, from landfill inception to the present.
