About this file
This is a Geotechnical Laboratory Testing Report prepared by Ardaman & Associates, Inc. for Atkins on behalf of the Max Brewer Causeway Beach Profile Project in Titusville, Florida (Brevard County). The report documents laboratory analysis of three soil samples collected from the project site and delivered to the Ardaman & Associates Cocoa office on September 27, 2022. Each sample underwent testing for percent fines in accordance with ASTM D1140 and sieve analysis per ASTM D422, with results including grain size distribution curves and Munsell Color Chart designations. Sample SS-1 from the West Back location exhibited 5% fines with a 10YR 5/2 color designation; Sample SS-2 from the Middle Front location contained 7% fines with a 10YR 7/2 designation; and Sample SS-3 from the East Middle location showed only 1% fines with a 10YR 7/3 designation. The testing was completed and reported on November 3, 2022, with the analysis performed under File No. 22-23-5204 by geotechnical professionals including Assistant Project Engineer Janie C. Ross and Branch Manager Jason P. Manning, P.E. (Florida Registration No. 53265).
The grain size distribution curves included as Attachment 1 illustrate the particle size composition across all three samples, categorizing materials within gravel, sand (coarse to medium and fine), silt, and clay classifications. All samples were determined to be non-plastic (NP) materials. The report was prepared for exclusive use by Atkins in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices and supports the shoreline restoration initiative requiring approximately 12,000 cubic yards of sand placement along the Max Brewer Causeway north shoreline.

Subject: Laboratory Testing of Soil Samples Max Brewer Causeway Beach Profile Project Site
Titusville, Florida Atkins Project No. 100077962
Dear Ms. Yarbrough:
As requested, we have completed laboratory testing of soil samples delivered to the Ardaman & Associates, Inc. Cocoa office by the client. This report presents the results of the testing.
Three soil samples collected from the project site by the client were delivered to our Cocoa office on September 27, 2022. Each sample was tested in our laboratory for percent fines (ASTM D1140) and sieve analysis (ASTM D422). Each sample was also observed by a geotechnical engineer to determine the Munsell Color Chart designation.
The results of the percent fines testing and Munsell Color Chart designation for each sample are presented in the following table.
Sample ID Location Munsell Color Designation
Percent Fines (%)
SS-1 West Back 10YR 5/2 5
SS-2 Middle Front 10YR 7/2 7
SS-3 East Middle 10YR 7/3 1
Grain size distribution curves generated during the sieve analysis testing are included as Attachment 1.
