This document is an "Additional Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations" report from Terracon, dated May 2, 2025, for the NASA Engineering Consolidation Phase 1A project in Houston, Texas. It provides supplemental geotechnical information related to proposed underground utilities, building upon a previous report (Terracon Project No. 91135100 dated March 29, 2024).

The report details subsurface conditions based on two new borings (C-01 and C-02), including soil layers (pavement, fat clay, sandy lean clay, clayey sand, silty sand) and groundwater observations. It offers recommendations for temporary groundwater control, excavation considerations (including OSHA standards for slopes and shoring), uplift pressures, lateral earth pressures, utility bedding, and utility backfill.

Key findings include:

• Two borings (C-01 at 15 ft, C-02 at 30 ft) were drilled.
• Groundwater was observed at approximately 10.5 ft in Boring C-02.
• Excavations extending below 10 ft may require dewatering, potentially using well-points or eductors.
• Excavations require adherence to OSHA standards for safety, with specific slope recommendations based on soil type.
• Recommendations are provided for managing uplift and lateral earth pressures, as well as for utility bedding and backfill materials (including cement-stabilized sand in paved areas).

This report is crucial for contractors involved in the installation of underground utilities for the NASA Engineering Consolidation Phase 1A project. It provides essential geotechnical data and recommendations that directly impact construction methods, safety protocols, and material selection for excavation, dewatering, and backfilling. Bidders should review these recommendations to understand the subsurface challenges and requirements for this phase of the project.
