During design/pre-construction phases, Tai and Associates
can provide additional recommendations and consulting services for the
final phases of design and construction planning. The work items performed may be as
follows:
A review and editing
of the earthwork specifications to be consistent with the recommendations
contained in the subsurface exploration services report.
A written review of
the final site and structural foundation drawings to compare with the
recommendations provided in the soils report, including review of design
changes.
When requested, attend meetings or participate
in phone conversations with the design team to discuss and review the
development of the final design.
When requested,
perform studies and analysis of specific design problems, and refinement and
development of recommendations and criteria made during the subsurface
investigation phase.
An estimate, in
writing, of the quantities of unsuitable soil and rock excavations for bid
allowance purposes.
Discuss and review construction procedures and
potential complications that may be encountered during construction, such
as groundwater problems, unsuitable soil, rock excavation, seismic
monitoring during blasting, instrumentation monitoring (tiltmeter,
inclinometer, or other).
Review requirements for site shoring. Tai and Associates can prepare design,
plans and specifications for shoring on particularly complicated shoring
projects.
Provide additional
subsurface exploration services as required to further define design
criteria, or to meet the needs of a changing design.
The above services are
typically performed as requested by the design team, on a unit rate basis,
and with a pre-established estimated total cost.
