Summary
Kaskaskia Engineering Group, LLC (KEG) performed geotechnical services as a subconsultant to Raimonde Drilling Corporation and SEH, Inc. – Architects, for foundation improvements to five existing barracks buildings and for two 3,000 to 4,000 square foot building additions to the Fitness Center at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin.
Project
KEG services included field coordination and logging of 16 borings for the Reserve Pay Mission barracks and 8 borings for the Fitness Center improvements and coordination of laboratory testing. The explorations and lab data were then summarized by KEG personnel in geotechnical reports for each of the improvements. Sands were the predominant subsurface materials encountered during the exploration.
KEG personnel coordinated site access authorization with facility personnel, staked the boring locations, performed the geotechnical exploration and engineering evaluations, including foundation analysis and settlement calculations, and provided construction recommendations.
