Materials testing and inspection for flood-control channel improvements along Spring Creek in Harris County: density, concrete and placement observation.
Scope
Construction materials testing and inspection for flood-control channel improvements along Spring Creek.
Site Challenge
Flood-control channel improvements involve earthwork, concrete and backfill placed in and around an active waterway, where compaction and concrete quality determine whether the channel performs in the next major storm.
Work Performed
Quartet Engineers provided construction materials testing and inspection for the Spring Creek channel improvements: field density testing on fill and backfill, concrete sampling and testing, and observation of placement against the project specifications.
Deliverables
Field and laboratory test reports and inspection records documenting that the earthwork and concrete met specification, issued throughout construction.
