CONTRACT W91237-16-D-0010
TASK ORDER W9123719F0150
14 March 2019
Prior to submission of the proposal for the performance of this scope of services, the Contractor will review the scope and provide comments on any errors, omissions, inconsistencies, new industry standards or procedures which would provide the customer with a better end product. Please contact the Contracting Officer immediately if you have any suggestions or questions. The USACE highly recommends that a site visit occur prior to proposal of this effort.
Synopsis of work
This scope of work is to perform down hole acoustic and video imaging of nine (9) borings for the Tule River Success Dam Spillway Raise Project. The location of the project is near Porterville, CA. Access to the locations may require four-wheel drive vehicles and in some cases may require the equipment be hand carried to a boring location if the vehicle provided does not permit access.
Specifications
1. The Architect-Engineer (Contractor) shall pre-schedule its work with the USACE TPOC to coordinate their presence during explorations. The expected period of performance for access to the open borings is between award date and March 10, 2019. A Level 1 inspector is found sufficient by the Government for this effort.
2. The Contractor shall anticipate it will require two mobilizations for this effort.
3. The Contractor shall perform the down hole imaging in accordance with the following specification, which is that found in Section 3.31 of the prime contract:
“The contractor, upon completion of the boring in which geophysical logging is specified shall allow the boring to set undisturbed for a minimum of 24 hours prior to beginning the logging to allow settling of the suspended material in the water column. Following this settling period, the Contractor shall use optical televiewer, acoustic televiewer, or both according to the bid item chosen to log the boring to survey the boring in accordance with standard industry procedure.
C.3.31.3 EQUIPMENT
C.3.31.3.1 OPTICAL TELEVIEWER The Optical Televiewer shall present an undistorted 360° view of the boring wall. The image shall be aligned with true north. The resulting images produced by the camera shall be stacked to construct a complete, undistorted, oriented image of the boring and be capable of high enough resolution to show fine details enabling processing to provide accurate strike and dip of structural features.
C.3.31.3.2 ACOUSTIC TELEVIEWER The Acoustic Televiewer shall transmit ultrasonic pulses providing a 360° image of the boring walls, be able to identify and determine the orientation of planar features such as bedding planes and fractures, and be able to indicate the relative hardness of the formation materials.
C.3.31.4 INTERPRETATION The contractor shall process and interpret the results of the imaging. The image(s) shall be shown as an unwrapped 360° image(s) on the final report. The Contractor shall create a plane projection track presenting the fracture and bedding plane signatures from the image logs. The contractor shall present a dip and dip direction log as a tadpole plot in which the vertical axis is depth and the horizontal axis is dip from 0° to 90°, with the tail of the tadpole indicating dip direction measured in a clockwise direction from north.
C.3.31.4.1 ANALYSIS The Contractor shall perform structural analysis on the orientation data using stereographic analysis and a partial differential equation such as the Fisher-Kolmogorov, or similar. This data shall be presented on a stereographic polar projection and rose diagrams as well as data sets as described below in the report section.
C.3.31.4.2 STEREONET The stereographic polar projection diagram shall plot dip and dip direction of planar features with 0° degree dip in the center of the diagram and 90° dip at the circumference. The dip direction shall be indicated by compass azimuth measured clockwise from north (0°).
C.3.31.4.3 ROSE DIAGRAM Rose diagrams shall be used to graphically illustrate the strike distribution of the sets of planes. Radiating rays shall be drawn with lengths proportional to the number of strike measurements within 10° sectors.
C.3.31.4.4 REPORT The Contractor provide preliminary data from the borings are it becomes available with the understanding that this is not final data. The Contractor shall produce a report containing the video and/or the acoustic images in a 90% draft version. This 90% draft shall be provided in electronic format for review by the Government’s technical staff as soon as possible following completion of the borehole logging. The Government will review and reply within two business weeks, excluding holidays. Once comments are resolved, the Contractor shall submit two hard copies of the report and one digital copy including all native files and a single pdf of the report.
C.3.31.4.5 REPORT CONTENTS The report shall, at a minimum, provide the following details:
a. Summary table of all test borings logged with information including:
boring location, boring elevation, inclination, orientation of inclination, logged depths, date drilled, date logged,
b. Stereographic projections, for each type of feature observed, bedding, fractures, etc. If more than one set is discernible for any feature, then separate projections shall be made for each discernible set for that feature,
c. Rose diagrams, corresponding to the feature for which each stereographic projection was made,
d. Depth shown in feet and elevation (if inclined elevation must be corrected to batter),
e. Tadpole graphs,
f. Tables indicating mean orientation of bedding and each discernible set of fracture planes,
g. Tables of planes with measurable aperture,
h. Unwrapped views of the dip with factures and bedding shown by tadpoles color-coded to open fractures, filled fractures, and bedding.
i. Data shall be presented in such a way that it is readily correlatable and easy to read.
j. Discussion summarizing results
k. Weather conditions during each logging session.”
4. Native files shall not be locked.
5. Sections f. and g. of the report shall also be provided in Excel format.
6. The Technical Point of Contact will coordinate with the Contractor for site access.
7. Nine borings are scheduled for imaging:

INTRODUCTION
GEOVision acquired borehole geophysical data in nine boreholes for the US Army Corps of
Engineers Tule River Success Dam project, in Porterville, California. This work was performed for
Stantec Consultants. Field work was performed by Jonathan Jordan. Data analysis and report preparation were performed by Emily Feldman and reviewed by a GEOVision licensed California professional geophysicist or engineer.
This report presents the results of borehole geophysical data collected between March 11 and April
4, 2019. Acoustic televiewer and optical televiewer data were collected in nine uncased boreholes, as detailed in Table 1. The purpose of these measurements was to supplement stratigraphic information obtained during the drilling investigation.
A Robertson Geologging, Inc. (RG) High Resolution Acoustic Televiewer (ATV) and RG High
Resolution Optical Televiewer (OTV) were used to collect borehole deviation data and acoustic and optical images of the borehole wall. Borehole images were analyzed and features, such as bedding planes and fractures, were identified and used to calculate feature dips and azimuths.
Acquired data were analyzed and a profile of borehole deviation versus depth was produced.
Measurement procedures followed these ASTM standards:
ASTM D5753-18, “Planning and Conducting Boring Geophysical Logging”

INSTRUMENTATION
Acoustic Televiewer / Boring Deviation Instrumentation
Acoustic televiewer data were collected using a RG ATV slimhole probe controlled by RG's
HiRAT program.
The probe receives control signals from, and sends the digitized measurement values to, a RG
Micrologger II (MLII) on the surface via an armored cable. The cable is wound onto the drum of a winch and is used to support the probe. Cable travel is measured to provide probe depth using a sheave of known circumference fitted with a digital rotary encoder. The probe and depth data are transmitted by USB link from the MLII unit to a laptop computer where it is displayed and stored.
This system produces images of the boring wall based on the amplitude and travel time of an ultrasonic beam reflected from the formation wall. The ultrasonic energy is generated by a piezoelectric transducer at a frequency of 1.4 MHz. A periodic acoustic energy wave is emitted by the transducer and travels through the acoustic head and boring fluid until it reaches the interface between the boring fluid and the boring wall. Here a portion of the energy is reflected back to the transducer, the remainder continuing into the formation. By careful time sequencing, the piezoelectric transducer acts as both the transmitter of the ultrasonic pulse and receiver of the reflected wave. The travel time of the energy wave is the period between transmission of the source energy pulse and the return of the reflected wave measured at the point of maximum wave amplitude. The magnitude of the energy wave is measured in dB, a unitless ratio of the detected echo wave amplitude divided by the amplitude of the transmitted wave. The strength of the reflected signal depends primarily on the impedance contrast of the boring fluid and the boring wall formation.
The acoustic wave propagates along the axis of the probe and then is reflected perpendicular to this axis by a reflector that focuses the beam to a 0.08 inch diameter spot about 2 inches from the central axis of the probe. This reflector is mounted on the shaft of a stepper motor enabling the position of the measurement to be rotated through 360. Sampling rates of 90, 180 and 360
GEOVision Report Success Dam Televiewer 19077-01 rev 3 Page 8 of 255 May 30, 2019 measured points per revolution are available. Typically data are collected at 360 samples per revolution. It should be noted that during logging the probe is moving in the boring, so that the measured points describe a very fine pitch spiral.
The probe contains a fluxgate magnetometer to monitor magnetic north, and all raw televiewer data are referenced to magnetic north. Processed data are referenced to true north, using site and logging date-specific declination (12.5 degrees east) obtained from NOAA
(http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination). Also, a three-axis accelerometer is enclosed in the probe to record boring deviation data while logging; this permits correction of structure dip angle from apparent dip, referenced to boring axis, to true dip (referenced to a vertical axis) in non-vertical borings. The probe is centered in the borehole by two sets of flat spring centralizers.
Optical Televiewer / Boring Deviation Instrumentation
Optical televiewer data were collected using an RG OTV slimhole probe controlled by RG's OPTV program.
The probe receives control signals from, and sends the digitized measurement values to, a MLII unit on the surface via an armored multi-conductor cable. The cable is wound onto the drum of a winch and is used to support the probe. Cable travel is measured to provide depth using a sheave of known circumference fitted with a digital rotary encoder. The probe and depth data are transmitted by USB link from the MLII unit to a laptop computer where it is displayed and stored.
The high resolution optical televiewer system uses a unique optical system based on a fisheye lens allowing the probe to survey 360 degrees simultaneously. The probe provides a continuous very high resolution image of the borehole wall using a conventional light source. The image is referenced to magnetic north, allowing the cylinder to be “unwrapped” with north as the edge of the unwrapped image. Circular resolutions of 360 to 1440 pixels are available. In order to generate the highest resolution image, a circular resolution of 1440 pixels is used by default.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Acoustic Televiewer Measurement Procedures
Boreholes were logged on ascent from total depth to bottom of casing or fluid level, as the ATV probe requires a fluid filled boring for proper operation. Measurements followed GEOVision
Procedure for Using the Robertson Geologging Hi-Resolution Acoustic Televiewer (HiRAT), revision 2.0.
Prior to logging, the ATV probe was positioned with the top of the probe even with a stationary reference point and the electronic depth counter was set to the specified length of the probe, minus the height of the reference point. Once verified with a tape measure, these calculations were recorded on a field log. The probe was lowered to the bottom of the borehole while collecting a low vertical resolution image. At the bottom of the borehole, this image was closed, and a high vertical resolution image was acquired on ascent. The probe was raised at a rate of approximately 3 feet per minute to the surface, or bottom of casing, with an acquisition rate of 250 samples/foot, giving an equivalent vertical pixel size of 0.004 feet (0.048 inches). The rotational scan resolution was set to 360 samples per revolution, giving a horizontal pixel size of 0.035 inches.
Upon completion of the measurements, the probe zero depth indication at the depth reference point was verified prior to removal from the borehole.
Optical Televiewer Measurement Procedures
In accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedures, the probe was inspected and tested prior to use. Borings were logged with the optical televiewer below protective surface casing to total depth of boring, as possible. Borehole images were acquired on descent and ascent; only using the higher quality image run for processing. The OPTV probe does not require a fluid filled boring for proper operation.
Prior to logging, the OPTV probe was positioned with the top of the probe even with a stationary reference point, and the electronic depth counter was set to the specified length of the probe minus
GEOVision Report Success Dam Televiewer 19077-01 rev 3 Page 11 of 255 May 30, 2019 the height of the reference point. Once verified with a tape measure, these calculations were recorded on a field log.
Typically, image resolution is set to the maximum; 1,440 pixels for horizontal resolution. Logging rate in a clean, smooth walled borehole can be 6 - 8 feet per minute to maintain very high image quality.
Upon completion of the measurements, the probe zero depth indication at the depth reference point is verified prior to removal from the boring.

DATA ANALYSIS
Acoustic Televiewer Analysis
Acoustic televiewer feature classification followed GEOVision Televiewer Feature Notes and
Picking Criteria (Appendix A). Acoustic televiewer data were processed using WellCAD software for borehole image analysis, version 5.2. Sinusoidal projections of planar features on the boring walls were interactively picked on the un-wrapped televiewer image and presented on the logs as colored sinusoids superimposed over the televiewer image. Sinusoidal projections were processed using the determined boring gauge of 4 inches to calculate apparent dip angle. True dip was calculated, correcting for the plunge of the borings using recorded data from the accelerometers located in the probe, and presented in arrow format, with true dip indicated by the arrow position across the plot. The azimuth of dip (not strike), is indicated by the direction of the arrow tail, with true north being “up.”
Televiewer data were also processed to extract the deviation data and produce an Excel file and plots of boring deviation.

RESULTS
Acoustic Televiewer / Optical Televiewer / Boring Deviation
Acoustic televiewer, optical televiewer, and boring deviation data were collected and processed for nine borings. Borehole results are presented in numerical order in this report, as follows: acoustic features table, acoustic stereonet diagram equal angle lower hemisphere, acoustic rose diagram, acoustic deviation projection, optical features table, optical stereonet diagram equal angle lower hemisphere, and optical rose diagram. All figures were also exported as PDF and accompany this report.
Per standard procedure, televiewer feature classification followed GEOVision Televiewer Feature
Notes and Picking Criteria (Appendix A). Sinusoidal features and corrected tadpoles are displayed on the multi-page televiewer feature log sheets in Appendix A. Corrected acoustic and optical feature depth, dip, and the azimuth of dip data are provided in the Tables, as well as in Microsoft
Excel® format, which accompany this report. Depths on all figures and tables are referenced to the ground surface. Core imagery is referenced to magnetic north while tadpoles and tabulated data reference true north.
Rose diagrams and stereonets were processed for both acoustic and optical features. Feature types are denoted in the log legends and identified by color. The same color key is used for the tadpole logs and stereonet joint poles. Clusters of features on the stereonets are not color coded. In the stereonet legend, each row represents a feature type by associated color, listing the total feature count, average dip and average azimuth of all features of that type on the stereonet.
Borehole deviation data extracted from the acoustic televiewer logs are presented graphically in the Figures and summarized in Table 3. Boreholes were logged in their entirety, from surface to total depth, to acquire deviation data; only the portions below water were processed for features.
Deviation data plots are provided in bitmap format and deviation data tabulated at 1-foot intervals are provided in Excel® format. Deviation azimuths in the Excel® tables reference true north.

SUMMARY
Discussion of Televiewer / Boring Deviation Results
Both acoustic and optical televiewer data were collected in all boreholes. Optical images were of very good quality above fluid level. However, in some boreholes water was cloudy, degrading image quality below fluid level. Some bedding and discontinuity features are identifiable in both optical and acoustic televiewer logs, while other features are only visible in optical or acoustic. For example in some borings, banding, veining, or bedding features are clearly visible on the optical logs but are not in the acoustic logs. In several borings, low water level limited acoustic imaging to the bottom portion of the boreholes where rock was more solid, hard and intact. As such, these sections contain fewer features or fractures, limiting comparability between overlapping optical and acoustic logs. This is particularly noticeable in 1F-19-05 and 1F-19-06.
Quality Assurance
These borehole geophysical measurements were performed using industry-standard or better methods for measurements and analyses. All work was performed under GEOVision quality assurance procedures, which include:
Use of NIST-traceable calibrations, where applicable, for field and laboratory instrumentation
Use of standard field data logs
Independent review of calculations and results by a registered professional engineer, geologist, or geophysicist.
Televiewer Data Reliability
Depth indications are very reliable with estimated precision of +/- 0.2 feet. Estimated precision of dip is +/- 5 degrees and azimuth of dip is +/- 10 degrees. Standardized field procedures and quality assurance checks add to the reliability of these data.
