Kennel Building Construction

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Geotechnical Study Report prepared for the proposed Millville Kennel project. It provides an evaluation of the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site located at 4200 South 600 East, Millville, Utah. The report aims to provide recommendations for foundation, earthwork, and pavement design and construction.

• Site Description: Location, topography, and surrounding features.
• Objectives & Scope: Defining subsurface conditions and providing foundation/earthwork recommendations.
• Investigations: Details of the field program (2 test pits to 7.5-10.5 ft) and laboratory testing (moisture, gradation).
• Subsurface Soil: Description of encountered soils (loose surficial soils, natural granular soils).
• Groundwater: Not encountered in test pits; anticipated below 20 feet.
• Discussions & Recommendations: Supportable by conventional shallow foundations on suitable natural soils; removal of loose surficial soils required.
• Earthwork: Site preparation, temporary excavations, structural fill requirements, and placement/compaction.
• Foundations: Design parameters for spread and continuous wall foundations, including embedment depth, width, and bearing pressures.
• Lateral Resistance & Pressures: Parameters for wind/seismic loads and backfill pressures.
• Floor Slabs & Pavements: Recommendations for slab support and pavement sections for parking and roadway areas.
• Geoseismic Setting: Seismic hazard, faulting, soil class (Site Class D), and ground motions.
• Liquefaction Potential: Assessed as "very low" and not anticipated.

This report is critical for any bidder involved in the construction of the Millville Kennel. It details the ground conditions, potential challenges (e.g., loose surficial soils, non-engineered fills), and provides specific requirements for site preparation, earthwork, foundation design, structural fill, and pavement construction. Understanding these geotechnical aspects is essential for accurate bidding, project planning, and ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of the proposed facility.
