The project involved the reconstruction of Hickory Street, between California Ave. and Ortiz
Ave. in Sand City, CA. The existing street exhibited structural failure, our firm was retained
to perform a geotechnical assessment of the existing asphalt concrete pavement. As a result of
the assessment it was determined that the roadway required reconstruction. Our firm
provided materials testing and construction inspection services for the pavement repair. The
approx. construction cost for this project was $600,000.00

The Project involves rerouting the Carmel River into San Clemente Creek at a location upstream of the
San Clemente Dam (SCD), and permanently bypassing the majority of accumulated sediment in the
Carmel River. Our firm provided construction inspection and geotechnical laboratory testing for the
project. Our scope of services included testing and inspection for the temporary diversions, the diversion
dike, re-route channel, sediment removal, stabilized sediment slope and channel restoration.
Geotechnical laboratory testing included sieve analysis, durability index, atterberg limits, maximum
densities and sodium sulfate soundness among others. Approx. construction cost was $84,000,000.00

The project consists of the demo of several portable facilities and construction of new gymnasium,
administration building, library and 12 new classrooms. Parking lots and main entry driveways
will also be resurfaced to maximize parking and create drop off areas. In total over 35,000 square
feet of new buildings will be built. Moore Twining has been retained to provide construction
inspection and materials testing. Our services will include testing of cast in place concrete,
masonry, post installed anchors, steel bolting, welding and asphalt. Total construction costs are
estimated at $33,000,000.00

Our firm has conducted geotechnical design services including pavement coring and laboratory testing for numerous
pavement improvement projects for the City of Clovis. One of these projects included pavement coring/drilling borings
within Alluvial Avenue, between Clovis and Sunnyside Ave. as part of a pavement rehabilitation project conducted in
2014-2015. The street section exhibited significant areas of alligator cracking and the City required investigation for new
pavement design. The existing pavement section thicknesses (existing thickness of asphaltic concrete and aggregate base
materials) were determined and the subgrade soils were sampled for laboratory testing. Based on the data obtained,
design recommendations were prepared for construction of a new structural section. Our firm subsequently provided the
construction inspection and materials testing for the rehabilitation based on the recommendations.
