Projects

The project scope included the rehabilitation of the existing valet entrance bridge at the Empire City Casino and Raceway. KC’s scope of work included development and implementation of a geotechnical investigation program, including soil borings, test pits, and pavement coring. KC coordinated and supervised borings, pavement and concrete cores, and test pits; arranged for laboratory testing of soil samples; prepared a geotechnical investigation report; analyzed existing foundation capacity based on structural loading requirements and developed recommendations for stabilization of foundations; performed stability analyses of the abutment wall and wing wall in regard to sliding and overturning, traffic surcharge loading, hydrostatic loading considerations, and recommendations for groundwater control measures; and reviewed subgrade soil and pavement structures based on cores collected during field investigation, identified possible reasons for observed pavement defects, and developed recommendations for pavement stabilization.
