Projects

MFS Engineers & Surveyors provided site/civil and geotechnical engineering services for the PNY Deferred Maintenance Phase 1 project located at the Perrigo Campus at 1700 Bathgate Avenue in the borough of the Bronx, New York. The project consisted of the concrete sidewalk replacement at the campus front entrance and along the property’s parking lot.

MFS's site/civil team prepared a Site Plan Package (SPP) to reconstruct the campus sidewalk pathways. The SPP included a demolition plan showing existing conditions and the structures to be removed, a proposed site plan detailing site improvements, construction details, and construction notes following local standards.

MFS prepared and signed and sealed the necessary New York City Department of Buildings (NYCDOB) TR forms required in New York City and assisted with filing the project. During construction, MFS supported the sidewalk and curb replacement, reviewing submittals and shop drawings, responding to RFIs, and preparing construction clarification sketches.

MFS’ geotechnical team coordinated with our trusted drilling agency to drill three test borings at the project site. The purpose of the test borings was to identify the general subsurface conditions at the project site. Each of the borings were completed to a depth of 15 feet below existing site grade. MFS will obtain samples continuously in the upper 12 feet and at five-foot intervals thereafter during each boring.

MFS provided on-site, full-time oversight during the subsurface field investigation consisting of three test borings for the project. During the test boring operations, MFS observed the subsurface conditions and generated test boring logs to include soil classifications in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and NYCBC, groundwater observations, action of equipment, and other noteworthy observations. The boring logs showed borehole and sample diameters and depths at which drilling or sampling methods or equipment change. Logs showed total depth of penetration, blow counts, groundwater levels, and types of sampling. The drilling equipment make and model, drilling method, date and time drilled, casing, any heaving conditions, loss of circulation, voids, or any other conditions observed during drilling were noted on the logs.

Laboratory tests were performed to classify soils and obtain geotechnical physical characteristics for soils encountered on site.

MFS prepared a Geotechnical Data Report which included a detailed description of the field methods used as well as the final boring logs produced in gINT format.
