Beach 6th and 8th Street Ends Rehabilitation

Queens, New York

Project Overview

MFS Consulting Engineers & Surveyor, DPC provided professional geotechnical engineering services in support of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) Beach 6th and 8th Street Ends Rehabilitation project in the borough of Queens, New York. The project involved rehabilitating the existing street-end bulkheads adjacent to Reynolds Channel at Beach 6th and 8th Streets.

Project Details

MFS coordinated with a trusted drilling agency to complete five Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings at the site: 2 at Beach 6th Street and 3 at Beach 8th Street. Each boring was performed to a depth of 60 feet below existing site grade.

During the test boring operations, MFS observed the subsurface conditions and generated test borings logs to include soil classifications in accordance with the United Soil Classification System (USCS) and New York City Building Code (NYCBC), groundwater observations, action of equipment, and other noteworthy observations. The boring logs showed boreholes and sample diameters and depths at which drilling or sampling methods or equipment changed. Logs showed total depth of penetration, blow counts, groundwater level (if encountered), and types of sampling. The drilling equipment make and model, drilling method, date and time drilled, casing, any heavy conditions, loss of circulation, and voids were also noted on the logs.

Geotechnical laboratory tests were performed to classify soils and obtain geotechnical physical characteristics for soils. The results of the field investigation and laboratory testing program were presented in a written geotechnical engineering report with design and construction recommendations for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the existing street end bulkheads.
