Geotechnical Survey for Ithaca Hauling Road

The Geotechnical Survey for Ithaca Hauling Road was conducted to obtain soil condition data and geotechnical parameters to support the planning and development of a hauling road within an operational area with challenging geotechnical and topographical conditions. The scope of work included field geotechnical investigations, soil boring and testing, evaluation of subgrade conditions and slope stability, and interpretation of geotechnical parameters for hauling road and supporting infrastructure design. Key challenges included varying subgrade conditions, potential ground deformation and slope instability, and the need to ensure adequate road bearing capacity for heavy operational vehicles. The technical approach involved systematic geotechnical investigation and testing, evaluation of soil characteristics and area stability, and preparation of technical recommendations to support the safe, stable, and reliable design and operation of the hauling road.
