Gardens Lake Forebay Reconstruction

Mamaroneck, New York

Project Overview

MFS Consulting Engineers & Surveyor, DPC provided a subsurface investigation to support the design and construction of a concrete weir.

Mamaroneck, New York

Project Details

MFS coordinated with a trusted drilling agency to complete a subsurface investigation comprised of two standard penetration test borings at the project site, reaching depths of up to 40 feet below 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), 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. The report included design and construction recommendations for the proposed weir and included recommendations for deep foundations, if required.
