About this file
This document is a geotechnical engineering study prepared by Langan Engineering and Environmental Services for Rural Neighborhoods, Inc. for the Renaissance Hall at Old Course project located in Naples, Florida. The study focuses on a proposed residential development consisting of nine three-story multi-family buildings on a former golf course site encompassing approximately 25.5 acres. The site is bounded by Collier Boulevard, the Golden Gate Canal, a residential neighborhood, and 32nd Avenue SW. The investigation was conducted between December 2022 and April 2023, involving fifteen Standard Penetration Test soil borings, ten test pits, and comprehensive subsurface analysis.
The geotechnical report provides detailed recommendations for foundation support, ground-floor slab construction, and site preparation, identifying four distinct subsurface strata: fill with thin topsoil, sand with silt and limestone, limestone, and sandy silt with varying limestone and clay content. The groundwater table was observed to fluctuate between el +1 and +5 feet NAVD, with seasonal variations. Laboratory testing of soil samples revealed predominantly silty sand and clayey sand compositions, with particle size analyses and Atterberg limits tests indicating moderate plasticity and varied grain size distributions. The report recommends specific site preparation procedures, including clearing, proofrolling, excavation techniques, and engineering fill specifications to ensure stable construction conditions.

A. Based on the material passing the 3 inch (75 mm) sieve.
B. If field sample contained cobbles or boulders, or both, add "with cobbles or boulders, or both" to group name.
C. Gravels with 5 to 12% fines require dual symbols:
GW GM well graded gravel with silt GW GC well graded gravel with clay GP GM poorly graded gravel with silt GP GC poorly graded gravel with clay
D. Cu = D60 / D10 Cc = 30 2 / 10 60)
E. If soil contains 15% sand, add "with sand" to group name.
F. If fines classify as CL ML, use dual symbol GC GM or SC SM.
G. If fines are organic, add "with organic fines" to group name.
H. Sands with 5 to 12% fines require dual symbols:
SW SM well graded sand with silt SW SC well graded sand with clay SP SM poorly graded sand with silt SP SC poorly graded sand with clay
I. If soil contains 15% gravel, add "with gravel" to group name.
J. If Atterberg limits plot in hatched area, soil is CL ML, silty clay.
K. If soil contains 15 to < 30% plus No. 200, add "with sand" or "with gravel", whichever is predominant.

Drilling Notes:
Blows/N value: Blows indicate the driving resistance recorded for each 6 inch interval. The reported N value is the blows per foot recorded by summing the second and third interval in accordance with the Standard Penetration Test, ASTM D1586.
Partial Penetration: If the sampler could not be driven through a full 6 inch interval, the number of blows for that partial penetration is shown as #/x" (i.e. 50/2"). The N value is reported as "REF" indicating refusal.
Recovery: Indicates the inches of sample recovered from the sampled interval. For a standard penetration test, full recovery is 18", and is 24" for a thinwall/shelby tube sample.
WOH: Indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of hammer and rods alone; driving not required.
WOR: Indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of rods alone; hammer weight and driving not required.
Water Level: Indicates the water level measured by the drillers either while drilling ( ), at the end of drilling ( ), or at some time after drilling ( ).
Moisture Content:
Dry: Absence of moisture, dusty, dry to the touch.
Moist: Damp but no visible water.
Wet: Visible free water, usually soil is below water table.
