ATTACHMENT 7 MLO GEOTechnical Engineering Report Dec1994.pdf

This document is a geotechnical engineering report from December 1994 related to a federal contract opportunity for tower foundation and tower installation project at Mauna Loa Observatory. The report contains soil test data and analysis to support construction of tower foundations and installation of a tower for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under solicitation number 1305M323RNRMJ0021. Soil samples were taken and laboratory tests were conducted to characterize subsurface conditions and develop geotechnical design recommendations for shallow foundations, retaining walls, and slabs-on-grade. The engineering analysis focused on foundation support, slope stability, seismic design criteria, and temporary excavation support.
