Project Location: Various locations in the City of Austin, Texas
Client: Dept. of Public Work and Transportation, City of Austin, Texas
Dates: May 1996 to August 1997

Improvements on the wastewater systems of several neighborhoods were planned by the client.  The incorporation of these projects require several excavation projects in city streets containing extensive array of underground utilities.  LCR&A performed the soil investigation at the proposed sites and made recommendations for the type of excavations and expected soil difficulties.  Locations of existing underground utilities (water, wastewater, electric, gas, telephone) were determined by LCR&A engineers in each project.  Geotechnical reports were submitted and helped the client during cost estimation.  The reports were later included as part of the bid documents provided to the contractors.
