The Client retained ANS Geo, Inc. to conduct a geotechnical investigation program, which included test pit excavations and pile load tests in support of the proposed Fulton Solar Project in the Town of Johnstown, Fulton County, New York. The project is expected to generate approximately 6 megawatts of renewable solar energy.
ANS Geo retained local contractor to excavate a total of 16 test pits across the site to evaluate subsurface conditions. The test pits were advanced to depths ranging between 6 and 9.5 feet below grade. Soil strata changes, soil classification, groundwater observations and excavation depths were documented by an ANS Geo geotechnical representative under the direction of a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of New York. Bulk soil samples were collected for laboratory testing of Thermal Resistivity and corrosivity.
ANS Geo also installed 12 steel test piles (W6x7) at 12 locations in accordance with Client’s procedures. As per Client’s specifications, each pile was installed to an embedment depth of 6 to 8.5 feet below existing grade using a GAYK HRE 4000 Pile Driver.
After 72-hours from pile installation, uplift and lateral load tests were performed on each pile. Uplift load testing was performed, and lateral load testing were conducted on their corresponding piles. Once the load tests were completed, piles were removed, and the bottoms of the piles were observed for pile flaring.
Load testing program was overseen and logged by an ANS Geo geotechnical representative under the direction of a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of New York. The results were compiled and provided in a report to the Client.
