M98168GE • • <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />This report presents the results of the geotechnical engineering <br />study we conducted for the proposed Upper Plant Site, near Meeker, <br />Colorado. The study was conducted at the request of Mr. Mark <br />Drzewiecki, Project Procurement Manager, Kvaerner Metals, in <br />accordance with our proposal for geotechnical engineering services <br />dated July 29, 1998. <br />The conclusions, suggestions and recommendations presented in <br />this report are based on the data gathered during our site and <br />laboratory study and on our experience with similar soil condi- <br />tions. Factual data gathered during the field and laboratory work <br />are summarized in Appendices A and B. <br />1.1 Proposed Construction <br />It is our understanding that the proposed project will include a <br />process building and ancillary equipment. The process building <br />will have column loads of up to four hundred fifty (450) tone. <br />Ancillary equipment loads will be in the range of about one hundred <br />sixty (160) to two hliadred (200) tons. We anticipate that some <br />site grading consisting of placed fill and constructed fill slopes <br />will be included in the proposed site development. <br />1.2 Scope of Services <br />Our services included geotechnical engineering field and labora- <br />tory studies, analysis of the acquired data and report preparation <br />for the proposed site. The scope of our services is outlined <br />below. <br />- The field study consisted of describing and sampling the soil <br />materials encountered in five (5) auger advanced teat borings <br />at the proposed process plant site location. The teat borings <br />were advanced at or near locations indicated on a site plan <br />provided by Kvaerner Metals. <br />- The soil materials encountered in the teat borings were <br />described and samples retrieved for the subsequent laboratory <br />study. <br />Lambert ana ~,a~ociateo <br />COMMIlT1N0 OlOTlONN10~L tNOIY{{p •NO <br />Y~i{111111 f[lTINO <br />
