Centerline Cuts and Embankments

In addition to the basic information listed in Section A, is the following information


provided in the project geotechnical report.

Are station-to-station descriptions included for:


1. Existing surface and subsurface drainage?

 The site has an open-ditch drainage system.

2. Evidence of springs and excessively wet areas?

 There is no evidence of wet areas along the site.

3. Slides, slumps, and faults noted along the alignment?

 There is no notable slides and slumps along the site location.


Are station-to-station recommendations included for the following?
General Soil Cut or Fill
4. Specific surface/subsurface drainage recommendations?

 Yes. The site location was previously a banana plantation, wherefore the drainage
strategies and the drainage system required is different. Implementation of
drainage plan is required to ensure that the runoff water is efficiently controlled
and disposed of. Where possible, land should be shaped to allow the ready
movement of water off the block and into a system of waterways.

5. Excavation limits of unsuitable materials?

 Yes.

6. Erosion protection measures for back slopes, side slopes, and ditches, including riprap
recommendations or special slope treatment.

 No erosion protection measures needed.


Soil Cuts
7. Recommended cut slope design?

 Yes.

8. Special usage of excavated soils?

 Yes.

9. Estimated shrink-swell factors for excavated materials?

Fills
10. Recommended fill slope design?

 Yes.

11. Will fill slope design provide minimum F.S. = 1.25?
