INTRODUCTION
At your request, we have completed our geotechnical engineering study performed for the proposed galvanized steel communication towers for the Teterboro Airport project in
Teterboro, Bergen County, New Jersey. The purposes of this study were to: 1) research and review available site information; 2) obtain subsurface information by drilling borings; and 3) provide recommendations for foundation design and other geotechnical aspects of future construction at the site.
No environmental investigations or sampling were performed as part of this work.
All elevations given in this report are referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29), unless otherwise noted.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Existing Conditions
The site is located in Teterboro, New Jersey and is bordered by wooded areas and
Redneck Avenue to the east, and wooded areas to the north, west and south; see
Figure 1. There is an existing 1-story masonry building at the center of the site and 2 steel communication towers at the northeast and southwest portions of the site. Each existing communication tower is anchored at 3 locations with two 3/8-inch EHS guy wires.
According to the 08 April 2014 RTR Site Plan prepared by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), the existing building has a finished floor elevation el 10.5. Grades within the fenced portion of the site were observed to range from approx. el 8.5 to el
10. Grades outside of the fenced area of the site are typically 2 to 3 feet lower than site grades.
Proposed Construction
The proposed construction will consist of the following:
Demolition of the two existing steel communication towers;
Construction of two self-supporting 100-foot-tall galvanized steel communication towers at the west and northeast sides of the site. The towers will have four legs each with antenna platforms and antennas on the tops of the towers.
At the time of this report, we have not been provided information regarding the proposed structural loads. Once it becomes available, we should review the final
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201 structural loading information and associated deflection criteria for the towers so that we may evaluate and modify, if necessary, the recommendations provided herein.
REVIEW OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION
We reviewed available historic aerial photographs, historic topographic maps, soil surveys, regional geologic information, and the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the site vicinity. Pertinent information obtained from the above documents is summarized in the following paragraphs.
Historic Aerial Photographs
We reviewed historic aerial photographs dated 1931, 1940, 1951, 1954, 1961, 1966, 1970, 1974, 1985, 1991, 1995, 2006, 2008, and 2010; see Appendix A.
The 1931 through 1951 photographs depict the site as being primarily undeveloped farmland. The site is unoccupied with small structures along Redneck Road. The site is bounded by Redneck Road to the east, wooded areas to the west and vacant land to the north and south.
Additional structures appear along the south and west sides of the site in the 1954 through 1961 photographs. The 1966 through 1974 photographs depict the site conditions as similar to present day conditions with the current building at the center of the site. The extent of wooded areas appears to increase from the 1985 through 2010 photographs.
Historic Topographic Maps
We reviewed available historic United States Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic
Maps for the site dated 1888, 1898, 1900, 1903, 1905, 1935, 1940, 1943, 1947, 1967, 1981, 1995, and 2014; see Appendix B.
The 1888 through 1905 maps depict the subject property as being located within historic marshland. The current Redneck Road is shown to the east of the site. The
1935 through 1947 maps show the site as vacant and no longer classified as marshland.
Subsequent maps depict the subject property conditions as similar to present day conditions with the current building at the center of the site, shown as a radio facility.
Soil Survey
We reviewed the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource
Conservation Service soil survey map for Bergen County, New Jersey; see Figure 3.
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201
Based on this survey, the site is located in an area consisting of urban land. A brief description of the nearby soil types is provided below:
Urban Land (UR) – Surface covered by pavement, concrete, buildings, and other structures underlain by disturbed and natural soil material.
Westbrook, Ipswich, and Sandyhook soils (TrkAv) – Partial-decomposed herbaceous organic material over loamy mineral material and sandy marine deposits, very frequently flooded
Udorthents, wet substratum (Udwb) – loamy lateral spread deposits, moderately well drained
Regional Geology
We reviewed the USGS Open File Map (OFM) 13 soil survey map entitled “Surficial
Geology of the Weehawken and Central Park Quadrangles, Bergen, Hudson, and
Passaic Counties, New Jersey”; see Figure 4. According to this map, the site is underlain by the following soil type:
Moonachie Terrace Deposit (Qmt) – Sand and minor pebble gravel and silt, very pale brown to yellowish brown. Deposits can be as much as 20 feet thick.
Top of bedrock elevation is between el 0 and el -50.
The generalized 1994 Bedrock Geologic Map of Northern New Jersey published by the
USGS and the New Jersey Geological Survey characterizes the underlying geology in the region as conglomeratic sandstone interbedded grayish-red to brownish-red, medium to fine-grained, medium to thick-bedded as part of the Passaic Formation; see
Figure 5.
Flood Maps
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Rate Map
Number 34003C0256G dated September 30, 2005, the site is located within areas determined to be outside of the 100-year floodplain (Zone AE) and the 500-year floodplain (Zone X); see Figure 6.
SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION
The geotechnical field investigation consisted of drilling 2 borings (identified as borings
LB-1 and LB-2) within the proposed tower locations; see Figure 2.
Permission to access the site was obtained from Ocean Construction and the FAA before beginning work. The One-Call utility mark-out request was performed by our
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201 drilling subcontractor prior to performing field work. In addition, a private utility mark-out company, Precision GPR, performed a utility mark-out and cleared the boring locations of utilities.
The borings were completed under the full-time inspection of a field engineer from our office and with the direct supervision of our project Professional Engineer. Our field engineer maintained logs of all explorations, classified encountered soil conditions, and obtained representative material samples.
Surface elevations at the boring locations were inferred from drawing entitled “Site
Plan, Teterboro Airport” dated 8 April 2017, which is referenced to the National
Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29).
Borings
The borings for our investigation were drilled by Craig Geotechnical Drilling Co., Inc. on
28 and 29 November 2017 using a CME 75 truck-mounted drill rig. The borings were advanced between approximately 50 and 60 feet below existing grades using mud rotary drilling techniques and an NQ2-size rock core barrel. The upper 6 feet of each boring was hand-augered.
A standard 2-inch-outer-diameter split-spoon sampler was used to obtain samples of the underlying soil strata. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT)1 was accomplished as part of the sampling procedure (in accordance with ASTM D-1586) and the SPT results were recorded by our inspecting engineer. A safety hammer was used as part of the SPT test for all sampling in the borings.
Pocket penetrometer testing of selected disturbed cohesive soil samples was performed and the measured unconfined compressive strengths were recorded on the boring logs. Groundwater levels were recorded when first observed within each boring.
Boreholes were grouted upon completion.
The individual boring logs are provided in Appendix C.
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is a measure of the soil density and consistency. The SPT N-value is defined as the number of blows required to drive a 2-inch O.D. split-barrel sampler 12 inches, after an initial penetration of 6 inches using a 140 pound safety hammer falling freely for 30 inches.

Langan Project No. 100683201
Laboratory Testing
Soil samples were visually examined in the field, and classifications were confirmed by re-examination in our New Jersey office. Selected soil samples were sent to a specialty testing laboratory where the following tests were performed:
Grain Size Distributions
Moisture Content
Atterberg Limits (cohesive samples)
Corrosion Testing (including resistivity, redox potential, sulfide, sulfate, chloride, pH, water content)
The laboratory test results are provided in Appendix D.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Based on the results of the borings performed for this study, the subsurface conditions generally consisted of a surface layer of topsoil overlying fill and then successive natural strata consisting of sand, clay, decomposed rock and bedrock. A generalized subsurface profile is shown in Figure 7 and the following sections describe the encountered subsurface conditions.
Topsoil
A 3-inch-thick to 5-inch-thick surface layer of topsoil was encountered in both borings.
The topsoil generally consisted of dark brown fine to medium sand with varying proportions of silt, fine gravel and roots.
Fill
Fill generally consisting of brown to gray fine to coarse sand with varying amounts of silt, fine to coarse gravel, clay, roots, asphalt and brick was encountered beneath the topsoil layer in both borings. No SPT N-values were recorded in the fill layer because each boring was hand augered to a depth of 6 feet below surrounding grades. The fill was found to range in thickness from 4 to 6 feet.
Sand
Brown to reddish-brown fine to medium sand with varying amounts of coarse sand, silt, fine to coarse gravel, cobbles and clay was encountered beneath the fill layer in both borings. The sand was found to be medium dense as evidenced by SPT N-values ranging from 10 to 16 blows/foot. The sand stratum was found to be approximately 2 to
4 feet thick.
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201
A 2-foot-thick sandy silt layer was encountered below the sand stratum in boring LB-2.
Clay
Brownish-gray to gray clay with varying amounts of silt and fine to medium sand was encountered beneath the sand layer in both borings. The clay was first encountered at approximately 8 to 10 feet below existing grades, or at approximate el 2 to el -0.5. The clay was typically found to be soft to very stiff as evidenced by SPT N-values ranging from 3 to 20 blows/foot (average SPT N-value of 7 blows/foot). Unconfined compressive strength as measured in the field with the pocket penetrometer ranged from 0.2 to
4 tons/ft2. The clay layer was found to range in thickness from 22 to 30 feet.
Decomposed Rock
Decomposed rock in the form of reddish-brown silt with varying amounts of clay, fine to coarse sand and fine to coarse gravel was encountered beneath the clay layer in both borings. The decomposed rock was first encountered at approximately 30 to 40 feet below existing grades, or at approximate el -20 to el -30.5. The decomposed rock was typically found to be medium dense to very dense as evidenced by SPT N-values ranging from 28 blows/foot to refusal (greater than 100 blows/foot) of the split spoon sampler. The decomposed rock layer was found to range in thickness from 9 to 10 feet.
Bedrock
Bedrock consisting of reddish-brown shale was encountered in both borings. Core recoveries ranged from 79% to 100% with an average of 91%. RQD values, a rough measure of the degree of jointing or fracturing in a rock mass, ranged from 65% to 92% with an average of 77%, indicating generally good quality rock. Bedrock was first encountered approximately 40 to 49 feet below existing grades, or at approximate el -30 to el -39.5.
Groundwater
Groundwater was first encountered in the borings at depths approximately 6 feet below existing grades, or at approximate el 3.5 to el 4. The groundwater level in the borings was inferred based on the moisture content of the soil samples.
Corrosion Test Results
A composite sample was taken from the fill layer from both borings. The results of the corrosion testing are shown in the table below:

EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The fill and clay soils are expected to settle and compress and will provide insufficient uplift and overturning resistance under the loads associated with the new communication towers. The proposed tower loads will need to be transferred to bedrock using deep foundations consisting of either driven pile or drilled caisson foundations. The following sections provide detailed recommendations for site preparation, subgrade preparation, engineered fill, foundation support, seismic design parameters, below-grade utilities, groundwater control during construction and protection of adjacent structures.
Site Preparation
Prior to commencement of grading or foundation construction, any miscellaneous debris, or other unsuitable materials should be removed from the tower footprints. All debris and trees/vegetation should be properly disposed off-site in accordance with applicable regulations.
Topsoil should be stripped from all proposed footprint areas, and should be stockpiled and protected from erosion. Any active existing utilities that are encountered in the proposed foundation areas should be re-routed. Utilities designated for removal should be completely removed within the proposed tower footprints.
Excavations made to remove utilities and foundation components associated with the towers to be demolished should be backfilled with approved compacted fill in accordance with the Engineered Fill section of this report and any environmental requirements.
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201
All site demolition and site preparation work should be performed in accordance with any environmental regulations and requirements established for the site as well as all
Local, State, and Federal regulations.
All work should be performed so as not to adversely impact the existing building, roadways, off-site structures, or utilities. Protection of these elements should be provided as necessary during the course of all construction activities at the site.
Subgrade Preparation
After performing the aforementioned site preparation work and prior to construction of finished surface construction surrounding the new tower footprint areas, all site soils within the proposed surrounding finished surface areas disturbed during tower construction should be proofrolled with six (6) overlapping coverages of a vibratory roller having a minimum static drum weight of 5 tons. Additional proofrolling coverages should be performed in any areas deemed necessary based on observations made by a qualified inspecting geotechnical engineer. Soft areas identified during proofrolling should be excavated and replaced with approved, compacted fill.
Engineered Fill
Reuse of Existing On-site Soils
The on-site soils having a maximum particle size of 6 inches in diameter can be used as compacted fill to raise grades or backfill foundation and utility excavations. The use of larger aggregate should only be done as approved by a qualified geotechnical engineer based on inspection of conditions encountered during construction.
The reuse of on-site soils should be performed in accordance with all environmental requirements established for the Site, including any restrictions on the reuse of excavation fill material due to concerns regarding contamination.
Imported Fill
Imported fill, if any is required, should consist of a relatively well-graded mixture of sand and gravel with not more than 15 percent (by weight) finer than the No. 200 sieve and having a maximum particle size of no more than 4 inches. The use of any imported fill containing a higher percentage of fines would need to be evaluated by a qualified geotechnical engineer during construction.
Suitable fill should be free of organics and other deleterious materials. The fill should be environmentally clean. “Clean fill” means material to be used in a remedial action that meets all soil remediation standards, site-specific alternative standards, or site-specific
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201 interim standards, does not contain extraneous debris or solid waste, and does not contain free liquids. This also includes any material that meets all criteria or action levels for contaminants without standards, available on the NJDEP’s website at www.nj.gov/dep/srp.
Grain size distribution and Modified Proctor compaction tests (ASTM D1557) should be performed on representative samples of the backfill and imported fill material proposed by the Contractor to import. The Contractor should provide the results of the testing to the Owner and Geotechnical Engineer for approval not less than two weeks prior to its delivery to the Site and intended use.
Fill Placement and Compaction
All fill should be placed in uniform lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the material’s maximum dry density as determined by the Modified Proctor Compaction
Test (ASTM D1557). The water content at the time of compaction should be within
3 percentage points of the optimum water content. Silt and clay soils should be placed in 8-inch-thick loose lifts and compacted using a sheep’s-foot roller. On-site granular soils and imported select fill can be placed in 12-inch-thick loose lifts and compacted using a smooth drum roller. The sheep’s-foot and smooth drum rollers should have a minimum static drum weight of 5 tons.
Smaller compaction equipment (i.e. walk-behind trench roller or jumping jack compactor) and thinner lifts (6 to 8 inches) will be necessary in areas of limited maneuverability.
All fill placement should be subject to inspection and testing by a qualified geotechnical engineer. No fill material should be placed on areas where free water is standing, on frozen subgrade areas, or on surfaces which have not been approved by a qualified geotechnical engineer.
Deep Foundations
Due to the presence of compressible soils beneath the tower locations, we recommend that the proposed communication towers be supported on deep foundations consisting of either driven piles or drilled caissons. Recommendations for both deep foundation options are provided herein.
Driven Piles
The proposed towers can be supported on closed-end pipe piles driven to or into the underlying bedrock and filled with concrete. We expect a 14-inch-dia Grade 3 (Modified
50 ksi) steel closed-end pipe pile having a 0.5 inch wall thickness driven to or into the rock and filled with concrete having a 28-day compressive strength of 4,000 lbs/in2 can
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201 i^kd^k= be a suitable pile type to achieve a 125 ton compression design capacity. If available, more economical and generally equivalent 13.3751inch1dia by 0.481inch wall thickness new secondary oil casing pipe piles can be utilized as a substitute for the 141inch1dia pile identified above. We anticipate the 141inch1dia pile or equivalent oil casing pipe pile can sustain an uplift design capacity of 15 tons, and a lateral design capacity of 4.5 tons at a limiting lateral deflection of 0.75 inches or less.
Smaller diameter closed1end pipe piles driven to or into the bedrock and filled with concrete can be used if piles having capacities lower than the 125 ton pile recommended above are preferred. We expect a 9 5/81inch1dia Grade 3 steel pipe pile having a 0.395 inch wall thickness can be a suitable pile type to achieve a 75 ton design capacity, respectively. This pile type should be filled with concrete having a 281day compressive strength of 4,000 lbs/in2. We estimate that the 9 5/81inch1dia piles can achieve an uplift design capacity of 10 tons, and a lateral design capacity of 1.5 tons at a limiting lateral deflection of 0.75 inches or less.
The minimum pile center1to1center spacing should be 3 feet. Piles battered as steep as
6V:1H can be used to resist lateral loads, if necessary.
Pile load tests are necessary to confirm pile capacity, length, and final driving criteria.
This pile testing should consist of dynamic testing using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) on the initial day of pile installation to measure pile stresses during driving, to estimate pile capacities, and to finalize driving criteria.
Care should be taken when driving piles near existing structures and utilities, so as not to adversely affect these elements. Proposed pile locations can be predrilled, if necessary, in order to reduce the impact to adjacent structures and utilities due to vibrations induced during pile driving.
Drilled Caissons
Alternatively, if higher capacities are required beneath the proposed towers, we recommend foundation support consisting of drilled caissons socketed into rock. A properly reinforced and socketed 1313/81inch diameter drilled caisson can provide an individual design compression capacity of 300 tons. The caisson shell, reinforcing, grout fill, and socket should be designed in accordance with the New Jersey International
Building Code (NJIBC) allowable stress requirements. A caisson socketed a minimum
15 feet into rock, constructed using a 1313/81inch outer diameter steel casing with a
0.41inch1thick wall, reinforced with three #18 grade 75 bars, and completely filled with
5,000 psi grout or concrete would satisfy the minimum code requirements.
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201
We recommend that one full/scale compression load test be performed on each caisson type. The basic allowable uplift load for the 300 ton caissons is 100 tons. The basic allowable lateral load for the caisson is 4.5 tons.
We will need to review the above recommendations after caisson layout and design capacity requirements are finalized, so we can provide supplemental recommendations regarding additional reinforcement and embedment, or alternate higher/lower capacity caissons, if necessary.
Uplift Anchors
Should individual foundation elements be subjected to uplift loads, additional resistance can be provided by using tie/down anchors socketed into bedrock. We expect a double corrosion protected, 17/8/inch diameter, Grade 150 steel threadbar tie/down anchor embedded at least 30 feet (minimum 15/foot free stressing length and a 15/foot bond length) into sound bedrock can provide a design uplift capacity of 240 kips per anchor.
This value is based on anchors being tested to 133% of the design load and locked/off at the design load. The minimum center to center spacing of the anchors should not be less than 5 feet. Langan should review the proposed foundation plans once final anchor loads and locations are determined.
Structure Settlements
The total settlements are estimated to be less than 1 inch and the differential settlements to be less than ¾ inch.
Seismicity
Based on the New Jersey Edition of the International Building Code (NJIBC 2015) and the United States Geological Survey, the proposed towers should be designed using the following seismic parameters.
• Risk Category = IV, Essential Facilities
• Site Class = E
• Maximum Considered Earthquake Ground Motions:
- 0.2 Second Spectral Response Acceleration, %g: Ss = 28.2
- 1.0 Second Spectral Response Acceleration, %g: S1 = 7.3
The above ground motions should be adjusted for site class effects using coefficients
Fa = 2.4 and Fv = 3.5.
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201
Based on the high fines content of the subsurface soils, liquefaction is considered to be unlikely.
Below-Grade Utilities
Excavations will be required for the installation of any proposed below-grade utilities and associated structures. All excavations should be properly sloped and/or braced in conformance with applicable OSHA regulations including, but not limited to, temporary shoring, utilizing trench boxes and/or proper benching.
Prior to construction, we recommend field locating any existing utilities that are to remain or that must be temporarily maintained during construction. Existing utilities within or immediately adjacent to the excavation areas should be relocated prior to excavation work.
We expect site excavations for proposed utilities to be constructed in existing fill or natural soils. Exposed utility trenches in soil should be proofrolled with at least six overlapping coverages of a double-drum walk-behind vibratory compactor such as a
Wacker RT 82-SC or equivalent. Any soft or unstable areas identified by the proofrolling should be removed and replaced with compacted fill. Backfill in utility excavations should meet the previously discussed requirements for engineered fill, with fill placement and compaction performed as previously discussed.
Groundwater Control During Construction
Based on existing grades, we anticipate that the excavations for the proposed site utilities are above the measured groundwater levels. However, perched water may be encountered. Groundwater can also be expected to fluctuate with weather, seasonal conditions, construction activity, or groundwater pumping. We anticipate that collected storm water runoff and groundwater seepage can be controlled using conventional submersible pumps in conjunction with gravel sumps.
If deeper utilities are required, we anticipate that excavations will extend below the groundwater table. Multiple sump pits or well points are expected to be necessary. The pumps should remain active to facilitate utility placement and backfilling in the dry.
Dewatering should be performed so as not to adversely impact adjacent structures, utilities, or roadways. The pumping, handling and discharge of all dewatering effluent should be performed in accordance with all applicable regulations and any environmental requirements for the site.
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201
Evaluation of Corrosion Protection
A sample of the site soils has been evaluated for the potential for corrosion of concrete structures and ductile/cast iron pipe utilizing the laboratory testing results. One composite sample, taken from 2 locations, of the fill layer was tested for pH measurement, redox potential, and soil resistivity testing, along with sulfide, sulfate, and chloride content. The results of the soil testing are summarized in Appendix D of this report
Based on the laboratory testing results, the composite sample of site soil was not considered to be corrosive to gray or ductile iron pipe or Type I Portland Cement.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND INSPECTION / QUALITY ASSURANCE
The foundation recommendations given herein should be included in the structural drawings for the project. In addition, our firm should be provided with and review any
Contractor submittals related to foundation work, site preparation, and soil importation for conformance with the recommendations given in this report.
During construction, it is critical that all geotechnical related work be performed under qualified geotechnical engineering inspection/monitoring/testing in order to ensure proper and timely implementation of the recommendations given in this report. We recommend that Langan perform this work to verify proper implementation of our recommendations and to maintain continuity of our responsibility for this project. Our field engineer would be able to immediately address unexpected or unusual conditions that may be encountered and provide remedial recommendations. This work includes:
foundation construction, site preparation, compacted fill placement, pile driving and utility construction and backfill placement.
CLOSURE/LIMITATIONS
This report is based on conditions that existed at the time the study was performed.
The findings and conclusions of this report may be affected by the passage of time, by manmade events such as construction on or adjacent to the site, or by natural events such as floods, earthquakes, slope instability, or groundwater fluctuations. Our interpretation of subsurface conditions are based on field observations from widely spaced sampling locations at the site. Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are taken.
Langan reviewed field and laboratory data and then applied our professional judgment to render an opinion about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Our report, conclusions, and interpretations should not be construed as a warranty of the subsurface conditions. If during construction, different subsurface conditions from those
Teterboro Airport
Teterboro, New Jersey
Langan Project No. 100683201 encountered in our borings are observed, we must be advised immediately so that we can review these conditions and reconsider our recommendations where necessary.
This report presents our recommendations regarding the geotechnical aspects of design and construction for the proposed galvanized steel communication towers in Teterboro, Bergen County, New Jersey. These recommendations are based on the site subsurface investigation performed by Langan and design development plans prepared by others.
Recommendations given are contingent upon one another and no recommendation should be followed independent of the others. This report has been prepared to assist the Site/Civil Engineer and the Structural Engineer in their design. Any changes in structures, locations, or loading information should be brought to our attention so that we may determine how such changes may affect our recommendations. Langan
Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. cannot assume responsibility for the use of this report to generate foundation design for any other structures than at the specific site addressed in this report.
