About this file
This is a Final Foundation Report prepared by Parikh Consultants, Inc. for the County of Sacramento in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the City of Rancho Cordova regarding the Hazel Avenue/U.S. Route 50 Interchange Improvement Project, specifically the WB50 Offramp Public Utility Crossing (PUC) undercrossing structure (Bridge No. 24-0395J). The proposed project involves constructing a single-span, two-stage bike path undercrossing structure measuring 41 feet in length and 57 feet 6 inches in width over the westbound off-ramp. The report documents geotechnical investigation findings based on two borings (R-23-014 and R-23-015) drilled in August and December 2023, respectively, to depths of approximately 81 and 76.5 feet. The investigation included laboratory testing for soil classification, plasticity, particle size analysis, unconfined compression, and corrosivity testing, along with seismic multichannel analyses of surface waves (MASW) surveys conducted by NORCAL Geophysical to measure subsurface shear-wave velocities.
Subsurface conditions encountered include very stiff to hard lean clay, sandy lean clay, sandy silt, elastic silt, and fat clay overlying medium dense to very dense silty gravel and silty sand with gravels and cobbles. Groundwater elevation was established at 121 feet for design purposes, with historical variations ranging from 87.28 to 131 feet across the project area. Corrosivity testing determined that all soil samples are non-corrosive per Caltrans guidelines, with pH values above 5.5 and chloride and sulfate concentrations well below critical thresholds. Seismic analysis indicates the project area is subject to ground motion hazards, with liquefaction analysis performed for depths to 70 feet using a moment magnitude of 6.72 and maximum acceleration of 0.18g. The report recommends specific pile capacity criteria for axial and lateral loading, approach fill settlement calculations, slope stability analysis, and provides detailed specifications and notes for driven pile construction and temporary shoring requirements for the two-stage construction methodology.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This “ Foundation Report” provides foundation information for the proposed “WB50 Offramp
PUC” in County of Sacramento, California, hereinafter referred to as “PROJECT”. The work was performed in general accordance with the scope of work outlined in our proposal to Mark
Thomas & Company (Designer).
The scope of work performed for this investigation included a review of the readily available soils and geologic literature pertaining to the project site; site reconnaissance, field investigation; engineering analyses; and preparation of this report. Our geotechnical recommendations are based on General Plans provided by the Designer dated March 6, 2026.
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the general subsurface soil conditions at the project site, to evaluate their engineering properties, and to provide foundation recommendations for the proposed WB50 Offramp PUC. The approximate location of the project site is shown on the Project Vicinity Map (Plate No. 1) and Site Plan (Plate No. 2).
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The County of Sacramento (County), in cooperation with the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and the City of Rancho Cordova, is proposing the Hazel Avenue/U.S.
50 (US 50) Interchange Project to modify the existing interchange and extend and grade-separate Hazel Avenue over Folsom Boulevard and the Sacramento Placerville Transportation
Corridor Joint Power Authority (SPTC-JPA) rail corridor. Hazel Avenue will be extended further south to a proposed intersection with the future Atlanta Street (a new roadway to be constructed as part of the Easton Place development).
This project proposes to improve the existing Hazel Avenue interchange on U.S. Route 50 and the roadway associated with the extension and grade separation of Hazel Ave south of Folsom
Blvd. A widening is proposed for the existing Hazel Ave Overcrossing (OC) over US 50 with an additional tie-back retaining wall projected in front of the south abutment to allow for a new auxiliary lane to be added to the eastbound loop on-ramp. A new viaduct bridge is proposed over the Hazel Ave Interchange to improve traffic access to future developments near Aerojet
Rd. A west-bound off-ramp undercrossing and west-bound on-ramp undercrossing are proposed to improve traffic flow and allow for bike path traffic under the ramps. A new overhead structure is proposed to carry traffic on Hazel Ave over Folsom Blvd and the adjacent rail lines, and a new viaduct is proposed at Alder Pond Creek to widen eastbound US 50. The

County of Sacramento will advertise, award, and administer the construction contract for the project.
Hazel Avenue WB50 Offramp PUC
The proposed undercrossing for the bike path will be single span structure, built in two stages;
total length will be 41 feet and width of the proposed undercrossing will be 57′-6′′. We understand that temporary shoring is required for two stage construction.
We understand that project is using NGVD29 vertical datum. It is our understanding that any boring drilled before 1991 used NGVD29 datum for registering elevations. Therefore, as-built borings were considered as NGVD29 datum.
3.0 EXCEPTIONS TO POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Exceptions to the policy are not required.
4.0 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
Two (2) borings were drilled to support foundation recommendations for the proposed WB50
Offramp PUC. Boring R-23-014 and R-23-015 were drilled in August and December of 2023, respectively. Both borings were advanced with truck mounted CME 75 drill rig using 4.5-inch diameter solid stem auger and rotary wash. The drilling contractor was GeoEx Subsurface
Exploration Inc. from Dixon, CA.
The borings were drilled under the technical supervision of our engineers, who classified and continuously logged the soils encountered during drilling and supervised the collection of soil samples at various depths for visual examination and laboratory testing. The soil samples were visually classified in the field according to the Unified Soil Classification System and then transported to our laboratory for further evaluation and testing. Upon completion of drilling, the borehole was backfilled with cement grout. The location of the borings are shown in the site plan (Plate No.2). The boring depth, station, and relevant information are summarized in
Table 1.

The soil samples were obtained from the borings during drilling at various depths by driving a
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
2.4-inch Inside Diameter (I. D.) Modified California Sampler or a 1.375-inch I.D. Standard
Penetration Sampler (ASTM Test Method No. 1586). The sampler was driven into the subsurface soils under the impact of a 140 pounds hammer having a free fall of 30 inches. The blow counts required to drive the sampler for the last 12 inches are presented on the LOTB, Appendix III. When correlating standard penetration data in similar soils, the blow counts for the Modified California sampler can be converted to equivalent Standard Penetration Test sampler by multiplying a non-standard sampler conversion factor of 0.65 and 0.41 for cohesive soil and cohesionless soil, respectively, per Caltrans Geotechnical Manual, “Soil Correlations” module (March 2021).
The logs presented in Appendix III were prepared from the field logs which were edited after visual re-examination of the soil samples in the laboratory and results of classification tests on selected soil samples as indicated on the logs.
It should be noted that the descriptions of the soils encountered, and relevant boring information presented on the LOTB depict subsurface conditions only at the locations indicated on the plan and on the particular date noted on the LOTB. Because of the variability from place to place within soil/rock in general, subsurface conditions at other locations may differ from conditions occurring at the boring locations explored. The abrupt stratum changes shown on the logs may be gradational and relatively minor changes in soil types within a stratum may not be noted on the logs due to field limitations. Also, the passage of time may result in a change in the soil conditions at these locations due to environmental changes.
PARIKH engaged NORCAL Geophysical to perform two Seismic Multichannel Analyses of Surface
Waves (MASW) sounding surveys to measure the shear-wave velocities of the subsurface. This method is used to collect surface wave data using a fixed array of geophones and shot points. The seismic arrays were each set out in a line consisting of four-shot points and 24-geophones distributed in a collinear array with a total length of 210 feet. Detailed descriptions of the MASW methodology and the results are provided in Appendix IV of this report.
5.0 LABORATORY TESTING PROGRAM
Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil samples recovered from the borings to evaluate the physical and engineering properties of the subsoil. The following tests were performed for this study: Moisture Contents (ASTM D2216), Unit Weight (ASTM D7263), Plasticity Index (AASHTO T 90), Particle Size Analysis (ASTM D422), Unconfined Compression
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
Test (ASTM D2166) and Corrosivity Testing (CTM 643, 422, and 417). The laboratory test results are attached in Appendix IV.
6.0 SITE GEOLOGY AND SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
6.1 Geology
The Project site is located in the Great Central Valley Geomorphic Province. Plate 3 shows the locations of geological units in the Project area. The distribution and description of geological units in the project area were derived from the “Preliminary Geologic Map of the
Sacramento 30´ by 60´ Quadrangle, California”, California Department of Conservation, California Geological Survey.
The project is mapped as being underlain by dredge tailings (t) deposited during gold dredging operations conducted from the early to mid 1900’s. The process of dredging involved a large dredge floating in a pool using a series of buckets on a conveyor which dug alluvial material down to a depth of greater than 100 feet. Gravels were separated in the dredge with the fine fraction consisting of sand, silt, and clay discharged into the dredge pool and the gravels discharged and stacked to the rear and sides of the dredge.
The significance of this is that a wet fine layer of unknown thickness underlies coarser material. However, historical topographic maps and aerial photographs suggest the area immediately underlying the proposed project was not dredged. Historical aerial photographs indicate dredge tailings were stacked about 390 feet south-east and 330 feet south-west of the project.
Well completion reports from the project vicinity suggest that depth to bedrock is greater than 100 feet.
6.2 Surface Conditions
Site topography is relatively flat and slopes gently to the north and north-west. The primary topographic site features are embankments created for Hazel Avenue and the west-bound SR 50 on-ramp.
Site drainage is locally derived. No major creeks or streams appear to intersect the site.
Site geologic and elevation data do not indicate the presence of geologic hazards such as landslides, slope failure, rockfalls, or debris flows.
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
6.3 Subsurface Conditions
Recently drilled borings (R-23-014 & R-23-015) encountered very stiff to hard lean clay, sandy lean clay, sandy silt, elastic silt, fat clay and medium dense to very dense silty gravel, silty clayey sand, silty sand with gravels and cobbles to the maximum explored depth of 100.2 feet (Elev. 49 feet).
We also reviewed the as-built LOTB (1990) of existing Hazel Avenue OC. Based on the as-built LOTB (1990), gravelly cobbles and occasional boulders were encountered in upper 4-
5 feet from the surface. Below the cobbles and boulders, medium dense to very dense silty fine sand with some interbedded layers of sandy silt, clayey silt, sandy clay and gravels were encountered to the maximum explored depth of 67 feet (Elev. 68.5 feet). As-built LOTB borings and locations are attached in Appendix III.
Due to limitations inherent in geotechnical investigations, it is neither uncommon to encounter unforeseen variations in the soil conditions during construction nor is it practical to determine all such variations during an acceptable program of drilling and sampling for a project of this scope. Such variations, when encountered, generally require additional engineering services to attain a properly constructed project. We, therefore, recommend that a contingency fund be provided to accommodate any additional charges resulting from technical services that may be required during construction.
7.0 GROUNDWATER
Groundwater was encountered at the depth of 52.5 feet (Elev. 80.5 feet) in the boring R-23-
015. Groundwater measured in other nearby borings drilled for the other proposed structures for this project, shows the groundwater elevation varies between 81.5 feet and 131 feet.
Based on the as-built LOTBs for the existing Hazel Ave OC, the groundwater was encountered at about 18.4 feet (Elev. 117.40 feet) below existing surface in 1990. Groundwater was encountered at about 10 feet (Elev. 126.2 feet) below existing surface in 1958.
We also reviewed DWR Well reports from the following reference and summarized in the table below. (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/webgis/?appid=SGMADataViewer#gwlevels)
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
Table 2 – Groundwater Information
*Well Locations are shown in the map, attached in Appendix VI.
As shown above, the groundwater elevation varies significantly within the project area between the years 1958 and 2023. Considering the groundwater variation, the design ground water elevation of 121 feet is considered for the purpose of engineering analysis. Please note that groundwater may vary with the passage of time due to seasonal groundwater fluctuation, surface and subsurface flows, ground surface run-off, and other factors that may not be present at the time of investigation.
8.0 AS-BUILT FOUNDATION DATA
Based on the as-built plans of existing Hazel Ave OC (1996), we understand that the existing overcrossing is approximately 270 feet long and 99 feet wide, and is a cast-in-place pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge with two spans having a minimum vertical clearance of 16.17 feet.
Following table shows foundation details based on the as-built plans.

According to Caltrans Corrosion Guideline, March 2018 (Version 3.0), Caltrans considers a site to be corrosive to foundation element if one of the following conditions exists for the representative soil/water samples taken at the site:
• Chloride concentration is greater than or equal to 500 ppm,
• Sulfate concentration is greater than or equal to 1,500 ppm,
• pH is 5.5 or less.
Based on the corrosion test results, all soil samples are non-corrosive per Caltrans guidelines.
The test results are presented in Appendix IV.
11.0 SEISMIC INFORMATION
The project is located in a seismically active area of northern California. The major fault zones of the San Andreas Fault system have been major earthquake sources and are expected to be sources of future earthquakes.
The closest active faults to the Project site are the latest Quaternary aged (<15,000 years)
Cordelia and Green Valley faults which lay about 56 miles to the west and south-west. Plate 4 shows the location of the Cordelia and Green Valley faults and others in the project region.
The Cordelia and Green Valley faults are right lateral and part of the San Andreas fault system.
The Cordelia fault dips vertically and strikes about 350°. The Green Valley fault dips from about 59° east to 89° south-west and strikes an average of about 346°.
11.1 Ground Motion Hazard
The recommended design response spectrum for the proposed overcrossing structure was determined using the Caltrans ARS Online tool (V3.1.0) which is consistent with the
Caltrans SDC V2.0.
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
For SDC 2.0, the Design Spectrum is based on the USGS 975-year uniform hazard spectrum only. Effective December 1, 2019, the USGS hazard spectrum is based on the 2014
National Hazard Map per the memorandum from the State Bridge Engineer. The updated
Design Spectrum continues the use of near-fault adjustment factors and basin amplification factors. The only change to these factors is the use of the Campbell-
Bozorgnia (2014) and Chiou-Youngs (2014) basin amplification factors, updated from their
2008 models.
The development of the design ARS curve is based on several input parameters, including site location (longitude/latitude) and average shear wave velocity for the top 30m/100 feet (Vs30).
Based on information obtained from the geophysical surveys (MASW), the time-average shear wave velocity (VS30) for the upper 100 feet of soil at the site are estimated to be 375 and 393 m/sec. Both shear wave velocities (375 and 393 m/sec) were used in ARS curve and shear wave velocity of 393 m/sec provided upper envelope of the curve. Therefore, shear wave velocity of 393 m/sec was considered for design.
Based on the subsurface data, the site is classified as “Class S2 Soil” per Caltrans SDC, V2.0. The site location and the relevant parameters are summarized in the table below, and the recommended design curve is presented in Appendix II.

1. Based on the Caltrans web tool ARS Online (Version 3.1.0)
2. An adjustment factor for the near-fault effect was applied to the calculated spectral acceleration values. However, no increase was required due to the large site-to-fault distance, in accordance with Caltrans Seismic Design Criteria v2.0, Appendix B.
3. No adjustment was needed for basin effect.
Based on the Caltrans Geotechnical Manual, “Embankment” module dated December
2014, a seismic coefficient, kh, of 0.06 (1/3×PGA), should be considered for slope stability
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO evaluation of the approach embankment under seismic conditions (pseudo-static analysis). However, since the abutments are supported on deep foundations and the abutment walls are considered non-sliding walls, a higher kh of 0.09 (1/2×PGA) will be used when evaluating the abutment slope along the longitudinal direction.
11.2 Other Seismic Hazards
Potential seismic hazards may arise from three sources: surface fault rupture, ground shaking and liquefaction.
11.2.1 Seismic Sources
Based on available geological and seismic data, the project site is expected to experience moderate ground shaking. PGA was calculated as 0.18g for the site in Section 11.1.
11.2.2 Surface Fault Rupture
An Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation map and Seismic Hazard Zone Report have not been prepared for the site enclosing Folsom Ranch 7.5 minute Quadrangle. Hence, the Project does not lay within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone or Seismic Hazard Zone.
The USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database shows the Project is not located within 1,000 feet of an unzoned fault that is Holocene/Latest Pleistocene (15,000 years) or younger in age.
Accordingly, as per the Caltrans Fault Rupture module, a Surface Fault Rupture Displacement
Hazard Analysis is not required.
In assessing seismic risks, we consider that surface fault rupture does not contribute to the seismic hazards at the site during the useful life of the Project. The preceding statements do not make inferences on the potential for aseismic surface cracking.
11.2.3 Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which saturated cohesionless soils are subject to a temporary but essentially total loss of shear strength under the reversing, cyclic shear stresses associated with earthquake shaking. Submerged cohesionless sands and silts of low relative density are the type of soils, which usually are susceptible to liquefaction. Clays are generally not susceptible to liquefaction.
The liquefaction potential was evaluated in accordance with the methods proposed in
Liquefaction Evaluation Module of Caltrans Geotechnical Manual (January 2020). The
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO evaluation was done using the boring data from all the available borings using a Magnitude
6.72 earthquake and a peak ground acceleration of about 0.18g. This method compares the estimates of the earthquake-induced shear stress to the susceptibility of soil liquefaction.
According to Bray (2006), liquefaction appears to occur in soils where these fines are either non-plastic or are low plasticity silts and/or silty clays (PI<12%, and LL<37%), and with high water content relative to their liquid limit (w>0.85 LL).
The soil data were analyzed per Youd (2001) and the analysis results are presented in Appendix
V.
Based on our liquefaction analysis, the liquefaction potential does not exist at the project location.
11.2.4 Lateral Spreading
Per Caltrans Memo to Designers 20-15 dated May 2017, “Lateral Spreading Analysis for New and Existing Bridges”, lateral spreading is caused by the accumulation of incremental displacements that develop within liquefied soil under cyclic loading. Depending on the number and amplitude of stress pulses, lateral spreading can produce displacements that range from a few inches to tens of feet. Flow liquefaction occurs when a slope becomes unstable under static loading due to strength loss caused by liquefaction.
Lateral spreading refers to the more moderate movements of gently sloping ground due to soil liquefaction. The geologic conditions conducive to lateral spreading (gentle surface slope, shallow water table, and liquefiable cohesionless soils) are frequently found along streams and other waterfronts in recent alluvial or deltaic deposits, as well as in loosely- packed, saturated, sandy fills.
In our opinion, the potential for lateral spreading does not exist, since liquefiable soil layers are not identified in our analysis.
11.2.5 Seismic Slope Stability
As discussed in Section 12.3.2, seismic slope stability will not be design concern.
12.0 GEOTECHNICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
12.1 General
The subsurface conditions at the project site predominantly consist of medium stiff to hard lean clay, silt and medium dense to very dense granular materials including gravels
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO and cobbles. Our recommendations are based on the plans, dated March 6, 2026, provided by Mark Thomas.
We expect the foundation design will follow the LRFD approach (AASHTO LRFD
Specifications, 8th edition, with California Amendments) with demands under the Service, Strength, and Extreme Limit states.
12.2 Pile Capacity
12.2.1 Axial Pile Capacity
Based on information provided by the designer (Mark Thomas), we understand that
HP14x117 are considered for the abutment’s foundation support.
The axial pile capacities of the steel H-piles were analyzed based on guidelines in the
American Petroleum Institute (API) publication (2007). The computer program
“APILE” (Ensoft, Ver. 2019.9.5) was used for axial pile capacity calculation of pipe piles. The computer program APILE estimated the axial pile capacity including the frictional resistance along the pile and the end bearing.
Following foundation information was provided by the designer.

*Default values can be used for ε50 and K.
12.2.3 Lateral Earth Pressure Capacity
Walls that are free to rotate at least 0.004 radians may be assumed flexible for the active condition. Walls that are not capable of this movement should be assumed rigid and designed for the at-rest condition.
The proposed abutments should be designed to resist an active earth pressure of 36 pcf equivalent fluid pressure (EFP, based on an active earth pressure coefficient, ka, of 0.283 and a unit weight of 125 pcf) and live load. This value assumes no hydrostatic pore pressure buildup behind the wall and is based on well-drained, well-compacted Structure Backfill per Section 19-3.02C of the Caltrans Standard
Specifications behind the abutment walls.
For the longitudinal stiffness and passive resistance, the abutment walls should be designed based on the bilinear model per Section 6.3.1 of the Caltrans Seismic
Design Criteria (SDC, version 2.0, dated April 2019). The bilinear model is based on experimental and calibrated analytical models using engineered structural backfill to a relative compaction of at least 95%.
Seismic Design: Per AASHTO LRFD Specification (8th Edition), Chapter 11, the horizontal seismic acceleration coefficient (kh) is calculated as half of horizontal peak acceleration (PGA). Based on our analysis PGA at this wall location is 0.18g.
Therefore, a seismic factor (kh) of 0.09 is recommended. It is noted that kh is used in the Mononobe-Okabe equation to calculate the total seismic active earth pressure coefficient (KAE) per AASHTO LRFD Specification (8th Edition), Chapter 11. Total seismic active earth pressure coefficient (KAE) of 0.31 and incremental seismic earth pressure coefficient (∆KAE) of 0.03 are recommended per Figure A11.3.2-2 &
A11.3.2-3 of AASHTO LRFD Specification (8th Edition).
12.3 Approach Fills
Based on the General Plan, provided by the designer, we understand that new fills are not expected at the abutments.
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
12.3.1 Settlement Under Embankment
Since new fills are not expected at the abutments, settlement will not be a design issue.
12.3.2 Slope Stability
As discussed in Section 6.3, the subsoils generally consist of very stiff to hard lean clay, sandy lean clay, sandy silt, elastic silt, fat clay and medium dense to very dense silty gravel, silty clayey sand, silty sand with gravels and cobbles. The liquefaction potential does not exist. Based on the plans, we understand that steep slopes are not planned at the abutments. Based on the abutment profiles and the subsurface data, slope stability will not be a design concern.
13.0 NOTES FOR SPECIFICATIONS
Before using the information provided below in this section, please review the report to comprehend the contents and intent of the geotechnical design. The Standard Special
Provisions (SSPs) in this section will be revisited when the Project features are finalized.
49-1.03 Expected Difficult Pile Installation
The expected difficult pile installation conditions are summarized in the following table.
Table 11– Expected Difficult Pile Installation
Pile Location
Conditions Structure
Number
Support Location
Br. No.
24-0395J Abutment 1 & 2
Hard clay, silt layers and very dense sand, gravels, cobbles, potential boulders are expected, which may result in hard driving conditions. Should difficult driving (hard driving or refusal can be defined as 10 blows per inch per Caltrans Foundation Manual, Section 7-7.1) be encountered where the vertical compression requirement is met (per Gates formula), pile driving should be allowed to terminate short of the specified tip elevation provided that either one of the following conditions are satisfied:
- Other requirements including settlement, and lateral demands are met;
- Any practical pile refusal within 5 feet above the specified tip elevation, which may be considered acceptable and cut off at the option of the contractor.
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
49-2.01C (3) Drilling for Driven Piles
If necessary to attain specified tip elevation, the contractor should drill holes with a diameter not greater than 9 inches for the proposed HP 14x117 steel piles before pile driving.
49-2.01C (5) Pile Set Period is Allowed
If the piles do not attain the nominal driving resistance at the specified tip elevation, the piles may be allowed to stand for a “set period” of minimum 24 hours without driving. If the nominal driving resistance is attained for each pile designated to be re-driven, the remaining piles in that footing are considered acceptable.
14.0 NOTES FOR CONSTRUCTION (DRIVEN PILES)
14.1 Driven Piles
Pile acceptance is to be based on Standard Specifications 49-2.01A(4)(c) "Department
Acceptance." Any pile that achieves 1½ times the required nominal driving resistance in compression, as shown on the contract plans, within 5 feet of the specified pile tip elevation and below the design tip elevations of settlement, and lateral demands, may be accepted and cut off with written approval from the Engineer. (i.e., 1½ times the required nominal driving resistance in compression is 225 kips for Abut 1 and Abut 2).
14.2 Temporary Shoring
We understand that the construction of the PUC will be two stage construction and temporary shoring is required. For temporary cut slopes, a classification of Type C soil per
Cal/OSHA should be assumed for excavations made into native soil and fill less than 20 feet in height. Shoring design and installation are the responsibility of the Project contractor. Conventional earthwork equipment is feasible for excavating the on-site alluvial soils. Selection of the shoring system and performance are the contractor’s responsibility.
The shoring program should include an adequate monitoring procedure to ensure that the shoring is performing satisfactorily, and provisions are included to take corrective measures with respect to lateral movement. The shoring system should be designed to be relatively rigid and with as many supports or struts as necessary to prevent excessive straining and deformation of the supported soils. This is important with regard to protection and movement of the existing roadways, utilities, pavements, etc. Temporary control of groundwater or dewatering, if required, is also the contractor’s responsibility.
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO
Dewatering should not pump soil fines; this is to reduce negative impacts on surrounding areas. An apparent lateral earth pressure diagram for shoring design is presented in
Appendix V for information.

16.0 INVESTIGATION LIMITATIONS
Our services consist of professional opinions and recommendations made in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices and are based on our site reconnaissance and the assumption that the subsurface conditions do not deviate from observed conditions. All work done is in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering principles and practices. No warranty, expressed or implied, of merchantability or fitness, is made or intended in connection with our work or by the furnishing of oral or written reports or findings.
The scope of our services did not include any environmental assessment or investigation for the presence or absence of hazardous or toxic materials in structures, soil, surface water, groundwater or air, below or around this site. Unanticipated soil conditions are commonly encountered and cannot be fully determined by taking soil samples and excavating test borings;
different soil conditions may require that additional expenditures be made during construction
PARIKH Project No.: 2022-110-GEO to attain a properly constructed project. Some contingency fund is thus recommended to accommodate these possible extra costs.
This report has been prepared for the proposed project as described earlier, to assist the engineer in the design of this project. In the event any changes in the design or location of the facilities are planned, or if any variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during construction, our conclusions and recommendations shall not be considered valid unless the changes or variations are reviewed, and our recommendations modified or approved by us in writing.
This report is issued with the understanding that it is the designer's responsibility to ensure that the information and recommendations contained herein are incorporated into the project and that necessary steps are also taken to see that the recommendations are carried out in the field.
The findings in this report are valid as of the present date. However, changes in the subsurface conditions can occur with the passage of time, whether they are due to natural processes or to the works of man, on this or adjacent properties. In addition, changes in applicable or appropriate standards occur, whether they result from legislation or from the broadening of knowledge. Accordingly, the findings in this report might be invalidated, wholly or partially, by changes outside of our control.
