Meco was contracted by the Department of National Defence (DND) to perform a geotechnical investigation to assess subsurface soil and rock conditions and to provide recommendations for earthworks and foundation design for a new three story Marine Security Operations Centre. The proposed structure was located at CFB Halifax, NS. Recommendations were made for a combined pile and spread footing foundation system based on least cost.
Meco's Services include:
-
Layout and design of the geotechnical investigation. The program consisted of nine boreholes for assessment of subsurface soils, bedrock and groundwater conditions. In-situ testing from surface to bedrock and recovery of soil and environmental samples.
-
Acquisition of permits and approvals for proposed work.
-
Supervision of drilling, in-situ testing and sampling of soils and rock.
-
A related environmental sampling program to screen for hydrocarbons, metals, and PCB's at the site.
-
Laboratory analysis for geotechnical and environmental characterization of the site.
-
Preparation of an interpretive geotechnical report for the site including recommendations for a combined deep pile foundation and shallow foundation system. Related recommendations for site development and parking structures.
-
Preparations of a factual report for site synthesizing laboratory analysis data and implications for site development.
-
Project management of the work.
