1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigation for the proposed
Federal Express Security Screening Building to be located within the Federal Express
facility at Oakland International Airport in Oakland, California. The following sections
describe our understanding of the project and our scope of services.
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We understand that the proposed development, located on Sally Ride Way (Plate 1),
will consist of the construction of a new security screening building to be located within
the existing Parking Lot A, as shown on the Site Plan, Plate 2. The building will be a
single story, pre-engineered, metal building, with plan dimensions of approximately 43
feet by 94 feet (4,042 square feet). Our services for the proposed development include
providing geotechnical recommendations for the proposed foundations and building
slab.
The information described above is our understanding of the project. If this information
is to be modified, we may need to review our conclusions and recommendations for
applicability.
1.2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF SERVICES
The purpose of this study was to explore subsurface conditions at the site and provide
geotechnical recommendations for design and construction for the proposed new
security screening building. Our scope of services consisted of:
1. Reviewing existing, readily-accessible geologic and geotechnical information in
the general site vicinity;
2. Drilling of two geotechnical soil borings to explore subsurface conditions and
obtain soil samples for laboratory testing;
3. Performing geotechnical laboratory tests to assess pertinent engineering
properties of the soils encountered;
