About this file
This document is a geotechnical investigation report and technical specifications prepared for the Eugene Water & Electrical Board (EWEB) regarding the construction of a water transmission main extension on E 23rd Avenue in Eugene, Oregon, between Alder Street and Emerald Street. The project scope includes extending approximately 2,342 feet of 42-inch welded steel pipe, 350 feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe, and 2,400 feet of 16-inch ductile iron pipe, along with temporary and permanent restoration of disturbed surfaces. Additional work includes relaying sewer and storm pipelines as necessary, providing traffic control with signs and message boards, flushing and testing all new pipelines, installing and testing a cathodic protection system, and coordinating with other contractors and City of Eugene requirements. The construction schedule specifies a start date of June 15, 2026, with substantial completion by March 5, 2027, and final completion by April 9, 2027. The contractor is responsible for obtaining permits beyond those secured by EWEB and must comply with all City of Eugene erosion control, right-of-way, and communication requirements. EWEB will complete disinfection of new pipelines and tie-in work on pipelines smaller than 20 inches.
The geotechnical investigation, conducted January 23-26, 2018, involved nine borings (BH-1 through BH-9) along the transmission line alignment, revealing subsurface conditions consisting of pavement, base rock, residual soil, and primarily silty sandstone bedrock with depths ranging from 1 to 12.8 feet, along with interbeds of siltstone and claystone, and basalt in select locations. Rock quality ranged from extremely weak (R0) near the surface to weak-to-medium strong (R2-R3) at depth, with unconfined compressive strength values between 893 and 4,504 psi. The report recommends conducting work during dry summer months to reduce risks of soil softening and dewatering requirements, utilizing large excavators with digging buckets for R0 rock and hydraulic rams for stronger materials, implementing appropriate shoring and dewatering measures, and using clean, well-graded crushed gravel or rock for backfill compacted to 95% relative compaction. All bid items are priced on a lump-sum basis with progress payments allocated proportionally to project completion percentage, except as-built documentation which is paid upon EWEB approval.

EWEB E 23rd Avenue Transmission Line Project 2181003 Geotechnical Investigation Eugene, Oregon
Dear Mr. Irvin:
We have completed the requested exploratory drilling and geotechnical evaluation for the construction of a new water transmission line along E 23rd Avenue. This report includes a description of our work, a discussion of the site conditions, a summary of laboratory testing, and a discussion of construction considerations.
BACKGROUND
The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is planning to construct a ±36-inch diameter water transmission line along E 23rd Avenue from Emerald Street to Alder Street. The project location is shown on Figure 1A (Appendix A). EWEB provided drawings for a previously-designed ±42-inch diameter transmission line along a similar alignment on E 23rd Avenue from Emerald Street to Patterson Street. We understand the new transmission main will be similar to the previous design. Therefore, the pipe depths are expected to range from ±4 to 14 feet below the current street surface.
EWEB is the project owner and prime designer. Foundation Engineering, Inc. was retained by EWEB to complete exploratory drilling and geotechnical consultation for the project focusing on evaluating the depth and condition of the bedrock. Our scope of work was summarized in a Professional Services Contract (P.O. #12256) dated January 22, 2018.
LOCAL GEOLOGY
The project site is located in East Eugene between Amazon Creek and the Willamette River. Local geologic mapping suggests this area is underlain by the Eugene Formation and the hills to the east and southeast are composed of invasive/intrusive basalt (Yeats et al., 1996; Madin and Murray, 2006).
EWEB E 23rd Avenue Transmission Line March 8, 2018 Geotechnical Investigation 2. Project 2181003 Eugene, Oregon Eugene Electrical & Water Board
The Eugene Formation is comprised of marine tuffaceous sandstone and siltstone (Yeats et al., 1996; Madin and Murray, 2006; McClaughry et al., 2010). This material dates to the early Oligocene to late Eocene (±30 to 40 million years old).
The basalt flows are estimated to have occurred during about the same time frame as the Eugene Formation. The basalt flows are considered invasive or possibly intrusive sills.
Our explorations encountered residual soil, sandstone, claystone, siltstone, and basalt. Where basalt was encountered in our borings, its location corresponded to a rise in grade in the alignment between University Alley and University Street.
The subsurface conditions encountered in our explorations are consistent with the mapped local geology. Details of the conditions encountered in the borings are provided in the Subsurface Conditions section.
FIELD EXPLORATION
We completed nine borings (BH-1 through BH-9) along the south side of E 23rd Avenue between Emerald Street and Alder Street to explore the subsurface conditions along the transmission line alignment. The approximate boring locations are shown on Figures 2A through 6A. The borings were drilled between January 23 and 26, 2018, using a track-mounted, CME 55 drill rig.
Most borings extended to a maximum depth of ±20 feet, with the exception of BH-4 which was terminated at ±19 feet. BH-1, BH-2, BH-4, and BH-6 through BH-9 were drilled using mud-rotary drilling methods. BH-3 and BH-5 were drilled using mud-rotary drilling and wire-line coring methods.
Disturbed soil and rock samples were obtained using a 2-inch diameter, split-spoon sampler typically at ±2.5-foot intervals. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT), which is performed when the split-spoon is driven, provides an indication of the relative stiffness or density of the soil (ASTM D1586). The number of blows required to drive the sampler the final 12 inches of an 18-inch drive represents the standard penetration resistance or N-value in blows per foot (bpf). The N-values are shown on the logs.
Triple-barrel, HQ-sized wire-line rock coring was completed below ±5 feet in BH-3 and below ±10 feet in BH-5. The initial core run in each boring was ±1 foot long.
Subsequent core runs were ±4 to 5 feet long. Core recovery in BH-3 was ±10% in the initial run and ±75% to 100% in subsequent runs. Core recovery in BH-5 was ±15% in the initial run and ±96% to 100% in subsequent runs. Rock Quality Designation (RQD) values were zero in the initial runs in both borings. In subsequent runs, RQD values ranged from ±57% to 74% in BH-3 and from ±33% to 96% in BH-5. The percent recovery and RQD values are summarized on the logs.
Photos 1B through 4B (Appendix B) show the retained rock core.
Geotechnical Investigation 3. Project 2181003
Upon completion of drilling, the boreholes were backfilled with bentonite chips.
The backfill was capped with gravel and asphaltic concrete (AC) cold patch to match the surrounding surface conditions.
The boreholes were continually logged during drilling by a Foundation Engineering representative. The collected soil and rock samples were transported to our office for further examination and testing. The final logs (Appendix B) were prepared based on a review of the field logs, the laboratory test results, and an examination of the soil and rock samples in our office. The ground elevations shown on the boring logs were estimated to the nearest ±0.1 foot based on the topographic map provided by EWEB. These elevations are approximate.
SURFACE CONDITIONS
The proposed transmission line will be constructed on the south side of E 23rd Avenue. The ground surface along the alignment is paved with predominantly AC. The block between Alder Street and Kincaid Street is paved with Portland cement concrete (PCC). The topographic survey drawing indicates ground elevations along the centerline of E 23rd Avenue range from ±El. 443 at Alder Street to a peak of ±El. 463 at University Alley. To the east, the road surface dips to ±El. 454 west of Onyx Alley and then rises again to ±El. 462 at Emerald Street.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions at the boring locations are summarized below and shown on Figures 2A through 6A. More detailed soil and rock descriptions are provided in the logs (Appendix A).
The borings encountered a pavement section consisting of ±3 to ±6 inches of AC over ±6 to 12 inches of base rock. The base rock consists of loose to medium dense, ±1.5-inch minus crushed rock.
In BH-2, BH-3, BH-4, BH-7, and BH-8, the base rock is underlain by silt and clay extending to depths of ±3 to 5.5 feet. The silt and clay was medium stiff to stiff at most locations, but very soft to soft at BH-7 to a depth of ±5.5 feet. This soil appears to be topsoil or a combination of topsoil and residual soil. Residual soil is bedrock that has decomposed in place to the consistency of soil.
Stiff to hard residual soil was encountered in BH-2 from ±5 to 6 feet, in BH-4 from ±5 to 8 feet, in BH-6 from ±0.9 to 2.5 feet, in BH-7 from ±5.5 to 11.5 feet, in BH-8 from ±5 to 6.5 feet, and in BH-9 from ±1.3 to 4 feet. This material was distinguished from the topsoil/residual soil described above by its hardness and more apparent relict rock structure. In BH-7, the bottom ±1.3 feet of the residual soil had the consistency of medium dense silty sand extending to ±12.8 feet.
Geotechnical Investigation 4. Project 2181003
Sedimentary bedrock, consisting of predominantly silty sandstone was encountered in each of the borings at depths ranging from ±1 foot to 12.8 feet.
The silty sandstone includes interbeds of siltstone and claystone in BH-3 and BH-4. The siltstone and claystone are extremely weak (R0). The silty sandstone is typically decomposed to moderately weathered and extremely weak (R0) near the surface and becomes slightly weathered to fresh and very weak to weak (R1 to R2) with depth. Weak to medium strong (R2 to R3) silty sandstone was encountered in BH-7 below ±19 feet. Weak to medium strong (R2 to R3) sandstone was encountered in BH-3 below ±14 feet and in BH-2 below ±20 feet. The R2 to R3 sandstone encountered in BH-2 and BH-3 is coarser grained and harder than the silty sandstone. The sedimentary bedrock is consistent with the Eugene Formation.
Basalt was encountered beneath the silty sandstone in BH-4 at ±12 feet. A thin lens of basalt was also encountered in BH-5 from ±19.2 to 20.4 feet. The basalt was weak to medium strong (R2 to R3) in BH-4 and weak (R2) in BH-5. The basalt appears to be an invasive flow or intrusion consistent with Eocene-Oligocene Intrusive Basaltic Rocks (Madin and Murray, 2006).
Table 1 summarizes the bedrock depths and approximate rock hardness for each of the borings. More detailed rock descriptions are provided in the boring logs.
Relative rock strengths were estimated based on the laboratory tests (described below), observation of the drilling resistance, and a review of the retained rock samples.

Ground Water
Mud-rotary drilling precluded measurement of the ground water level in the borings at the time of drilling. However, based on a review of local well logs, we anticipate the static ground water level is below the bottom of the borings.
Geotechnical Investigation 6. Project 2181003
Iron-staining in the residual soil and upper bedrock indicates water perches on the residual soil and bedrock at fluctuating depths. The perched water is likely due to seasonal rainfall and runoff. Water may remain perched on the residual soil and bedrock year-round. However, we anticipate the water levels will be lowest in the dry summer months.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory testing included natural water contents (ASTM D2216) and Atterberg limits (ASTM D4318) tests. These tests were used to classify the soils and estimate their engineering properties. The results of these tests are summarized on Table 1C (Appendix C). The natural water contents are also shown on the boring logs (Appendix B). The Atterberg limits tests indicate the soils have medium to high plasticity.
Unconfined compressive strength (qu) tests (ASTM D7012) were completed on rock core samples from BH-3 and BH-5. The results are summarized on Table 2C.
Testing on samples from BH-3 indicated qu values ranging from ±987 to 4,504 psi (lbs/in2), with the strength increasing with depth. These values are in the typical range for very weak (R1) to medium strong (R3) rock. Testing on samples from BH-5 indicated qu values ranging from ±893 to 1,773 psi with the strength varying with depth. These values are in the typical range for very weak (R1) to weak (R2) rock.
DISCUSSION OF KEY GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Seasonal Considerations
The work can be conducted any time of year. However, if practical, we recommend completing the project in the dry summer months to reduce the risk of softening and instability in the soils on the trench sidewalls. Completing the work in the summer will also reduce dewatering efforts due to seasonal perched water and surface runoff.
Rock Excavation
Trenching for the new transmission line is expected to encounter bedrock along the entire alignment. The bedrock depths in the borings along the alignment are shown on Figures 2A through 6A. The bedrock is typically decomposed to moderately weathered and extremely weak (R0) near the surface. The rock becomes slightly weathered to fresh and very weak to weak (R1 to R2) with depth.
Weak to medium strong (R2 to R3) sandstone or silty sandstone was encountered in BH-2 below ±20 feet, in BH-3 below ±14 feet, and in BH-7 below ±19 feet. Weak to medium strong (R2 to R3) basalt was encountered in BH-4 below ±12 feet and in BH-5 from ±19.2 to 20.4 feet.
Geotechnical Investigation 7. Project 2181003
R0 rock is defined as having an unconfined compressive strength (qu) less than 100 psi. It should be possible to complete the excavation of the R0 rock using a large excavator equipped with a digging bucket. However, slow digging should be anticipated in the R0 rock.
The laboratory test results indicated qu values ranging from ±893 to 987 psi for the very weak (R1) silty sandstone, ±1,002 to 1,773 psi for the weak (R2) silty sandstone, and ±4,504 psi for the medium strong (R3) sandstone. We anticipate qu values may be as high as 8,000 psi in the medium hard (R3) basalt and in R3 sandstone that has been altered and hardened by contact with basalt intrusions.
It is the contractor’s responsibility to select appropriate excavation method for these materials. We anticipate use of a hydraulic ram may be required for very weak (R1) or stronger rock to fracture it prior to excavation.
Shoring, Dewatering, and Backfill
The excavations for the new transmission line will extend through clayey and silty soils and into bedrock. The very soft to soft topsoil in BH-7 corresponds to an OR OSHA Soil Type C soil. The medium stiff to stiff topsoil and residual soil corresponds to an OR OSHA Soil Type B soil. The very stiff to hard residual soil and R0 bedrock corresponds to an OR OSHA Soil Type A soil. Very weak (R1) and stronger bedrock will likely correspond to OR OSHA Stable Rock, where it is not highly fractured or disturbed. The appropriate soil types will need to be confirmed based on the conditions at the time of construction.
The contractor should provide benching, shoring, and dewatering, as needed, to protect workers from sloughing or caving sidewalls. For open excavations, OR OSHA recommends maximum allowable cut slopes of 1½:1 (H:V) for Type C soils, 1:1 (H:V) for Type B soils, and ¾:1 (H:V) for Type A soils. Vertical cuts are allowed in Stable Rock. These cut slopes assume the excavation is dewatered.
The trenches will be completed in paved areas. Therefore, we recommend backfilling the trenches using ¾ or 1-inch minus, clean (i.e., less than 5% passing the #200 U.S. sieve), well-graded, crushed gravel or rock. The soil and rock excavated from the trenches should not be used as backfill in paved areas.
Trenches should be dewatered prior to backfilling.
Compact all backfill to 95% relative compaction. The maximum dry density of ASTM D698 should be used as the standard for estimating the relative compaction. The moisture content of the fill should be adjusted to within 2% of the optimum value prior to compaction. The fill should be placed and compacted in loose lifts not exceeding 12 inches. Thinner lifts (±4 to 8 inches) will be required where light or hand-operated equipment is used. Field density tests should be run to confirm adequate compaction.
Geotechnical Investigation 8. Project 2181003
LIMITATIONS
Construction Observation/Testing
We should be provided the opportunity to review all drawings and specifications that pertain to design and construction of the proposed transmission line.
Mitigation of any ground water infiltration, caving sidewalls or soft trench bottom conditions will require engineering review and judgment. That judgment should be provided by one of our representatives. Frequent field density tests should be run on all engineered fill. We recommend we be retained to provide the necessary construction observations.
Variation of Subsurface Conditions, Use of Report and Warranty
Contractors bidding on the project should be provided a copy of this report and should be familiar with the boring logs, the subsurface conditions, and the limitations of this information. Soil and rock samples are available for inspection by contractors prior to bidding. Contractors should also make their own site inspection to familiarize themselves with the terrain, existing utility conflicts, access considerations, etc.
The conclusions and recommendations contained herein assume the subsurface profiles encountered in the borings are representative of the site conditions. The above recommendations assume we will have the opportunity to review final drawings and be present during construction to confirm the assumed subsurface conditions. No changes in the enclosed recommendations should be made without our approval. We will assume no responsibility or liability for any engineering judgment, inspection, or testing performed by others.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of the Eugene Electrical & Water Board, and their design consultants for the EWEB E 23rd Avenue Transmission Line project in Eugene, Oregon. Information contained herein should not be used for other sites or for unanticipated construction without our written consent. This report is intended for planning and design purposes. Contractors using this information to estimate construction quantities or costs do so at their own risk.
Our services do not include any survey or assessment of potential surface contamination or contamination of the soil or ground water by hazardous or toxic materials. We assume those services, if needed, have been completed by others.
Our work was done in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made.
