Foundation Assessment & Design
Application of soil and rock mechanics to the design and assessment of shallow and deep foundations including: calculation of allowable bearing pressures and settlements, design of spread footings and pile foundations and field evaluation of footing conditions.
Soil section developed for bridge abutment design
Typical Projects:
- Evaluation of foundation conditions at numerous culvert and bridge crossings for the Fredericton to Moncton (Trans Canada) highway for MRDC.
- Assessment of predicted settlements for pile foundation beneath Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station.
- Provision of geotechnical input for the 180 m high stack at the thermal generating station in Dalhousie, NB.
- Geotechnical investigation and foundation design for a music school at CFB Gagetown, NB.
