Foundation Construction Observation: Monitoring and inspecting the construction of foundations to ensure compliance with design specifications, including depth, dimensions, reinforcement placement, and concrete quality.
Subgrade Preparation Observation: Assessing the preparation of subgrade materials, including compaction, moisture content, and grading, to ensure proper support for the overlying structures.
Earthwork and Excavation Observation: Monitoring earthwork activities, such as excavation and backfilling, to verify compliance with specified depths, slopes, and compaction requirements.
Retaining Wall Construction Observation: Inspecting the construction of retaining walls, including wall alignment, reinforcement installation, and backfilling, to ensure stability and structural integrity.
Slope Stability Observation: Monitoring slope construction activities, such as grading and slope stabilization measures, to mitigate risks of slope failure and erosion.
Ground Improvement Observation: Observing ground improvement techniques, such as soil stabilization or ground reinforcement methods, to enhance soil strength and stability.
Geotechnical Instrumentation Installation and Monitoring: Installing and monitoring geotechnical instruments, such as inclinometers, piezometers, settlement plates, and strain gauges, to measure soil and structural behavior during construction and throughout the service life of the project.
Pavement Construction Observation: Inspecting the construction of pavements, including subbase and base course placement, asphalt or concrete paving, compaction, and surface finishing, to ensure pavement quality and durability.
Utility Trench Backfill Observation: Monitoring the backfilling of utility trenches to ensure proper compaction and consolidation of backfilled materials, minimizing settlement and potential damage to utilities.
Drainage System Installation Observation: Observing the installation of drainage systems, including pipes, culverts, and stormwater management features, to prevent water infiltration, erosion, and flooding.
Construction Material Testing: Conducting on-site testing of construction materials, such as soil, aggregate, concrete, and asphalt, to verify compliance with project specifications and quality standards.
Geosynthetic Installation Observation: Monitoring the installation of geosynthetic materials, such as geotextiles, geogrids, and geomembranes, to enhance soil stability, drainage, and erosion control.
