Session 3 and Update on the A-GaME – Communicating Subsurface Conditions for Construction
Geotechnical subsurface investigations are not just about design parameters. Geotechnical site characterization must also inform constructability decisions and provide contractors with the information needed to get the job done efficiently and effectively. Explore ways to improve our investigation processes, to effectively communicate site conditions to all stakeholders, and to establish a collective understanding of anticipated conditions and contingencies for bidding and construction decisions.

Introduction – Benjamin Rivers, FHWA

Bridge the Gap – Presentations by geotechnical engineers representing contractors and consultants on communicating geotechnical information at various stages of construction- for constructability, in addition to structural design needs.
