Sara D. Roosevelt Park Rivington Street Playground

Manhattan, New York

Project Overview

MFS Consulting Engineers & Surveyor, DPC provided subsurface investigation services for the City of New York Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks) Rivington Street Playground Reconstruction project located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York.

Manhattan, New York

Project Details

MFS coordinated with our trusted drilling agency to drill four (4) borings at the project site. Each of the four (4) borings were conducted to 10 feet below existing site grade. Environmental sampling was conducted throughout the 10-foot depth of each of the boring locations. In addition, in-situ permeability tests were conducted at depths of 3 feet and 5 feet below grade at each boring location in an adjacent borehole.

During the test boring operations, MFS observed the subsurface conditions and generated test boring logs to include soil classifications in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), groundwater observations, action of equipment, and other noteworthy observations. Upon completing the field investigation, MFS assigned laboratory testing on select samples to verify field classifications and obtain geotechnical physical characteristics of the soils.

MFS prepared a Scope Summary Memorandum to summarize the work conducted. The summary included a detailed description of the field methods used, as well as the final boring and in-situ permeability test logs. In addition, MFS prepared and submitted a as drilled/sampled boring location plan and provide the results of all completed geotechnical and environmental laboratory testing. As an appendix to the memorandum, MFS provided a comparison of the environmental laboratory testing results to the NYSDEC Part 375 Restricted Residential Soil Clean Up Objectives.
