About this file
This document is a Subsurface Exploration Report prepared by Barron & Associates, P.C. and Buffalo Drilling Company, Inc. for a proposed VA Hospital Multi-Story Parking Ramp Structure located at 3495 Bailey Avenue in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. The report details the results of six test borings conducted on the site, with depths ranging from approximately 32 to 40 feet below ground surface.
The geotechnical investigation revealed predominantly silty clay glacial till with varying stiffness, ranging from stiff to hard, and containing small amounts of gravel and fine-sized sand. The subsurface conditions include layers of asphalt pavement, base stone, cohesive fill, and natural soil layers. The report recommends a deep foundation system using drilled piers that bear on weathered limestone bedrock, with pier diameters between 2.0 and 5.5 feet. The investigation also notes minimal groundwater encountered and classifies the site as Seismic Site Class C, with an extremely low potential for liquefaction. Key recommendations include thorough site preparation, proper compaction of fill materials, and continuous geotechnical monitoring during construction.
