Geotechnical
Geotechnical Technological study supports ongoing technical assistance to Bridge Design, Highway Design and Construction. Developments in this area impact the design and construction of bridge foundations, retaining walls, landslide repairs, and cut-and-fill slopes. Geotechnical field investigations are conducted using power drill rigs, subsurface sampling equipment, geotechnical instrumentation, on-site geophysical and testing equipment, and rock coring equipment. The documentation provided here highlights Federal Lands ongoing study.
