Geotechnical engineering and lot and pavement testing for Talavera Sections 7 and 8, residential sections developed by Meritage Homes in Richmond, Texas.
Scope
Geotechnical engineering and lot/pavement testing for residential subdivision sections developed by Meritage Homes.
Site Challenge
Residential subdivision sections in Richmond, Fort Bend County, where expansive clay soils affect slab-on-grade lots and street pavements, requiring geotechnical design input and testing during lot and pavement construction.
Work Performed
Geotechnical engineering for Talavera Sections 7 and 8, followed by lot and pavement testing during construction, including field density and compaction testing of lot fill and pavement subgrade and laboratory testing of soils.
Deliverables
Geotechnical recommendations for the subdivision sections plus field and laboratory test reports for lots and pavements, documenting conformance for Meritage Homes.
