Main duties include testing of dredged reclamation fill by means of Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) and assessing conformity with the contract specifications.
Extensive knowledge for soil improvement techniques:
Surcharging – Monitoring of surcharge settlements on a daily basis. Use of site specific laboratory test (oedometer) data to anticipate immediate, consolidation and creep settlements for 'no preload' and 'preloaded' case scenarios..
Dynamic Compaction – used when the upper 6m exhibits low qc values
Vibro Floatation – Grid spacing calculations carried out (Priebe Method) to obtain an improvement factor to reduce settlements.
Zone Load Tests (5mx5m) – Undertaken for each acceptance area with predicted settlements calculated against measured settlements.
Settlements calculated from cone penetration tests for uniform (50kPa) and shallow foundation (150kPa, Eurocode 7 method) loads.
Routine reclamation testing programme status update using 'Map Info' software package.
Carried out liquefaction anlaysis from CPT data.
