SAMPLE PROJECTS

Utility Investigation


Mr. Pfoser was project manager of the Pacific Gas and Electric project for Fluor Daniel / GTI. The project sites included; Power Generating Station, Encinas; Power Generating Station South Bay; and 9 power-generating gas turbine sites, all of which are located in San Diego County. This project entailed investigating a total of 988 proposed exploratory boring and soil-gas sites for detectable subsurface interferences. Detected subsurface facilities included electrical, fuel, fiber optic, sanitary and storm sewer, natural gas, and telecommunications. No unexpected buried utilities were encountered. The methods employed included utility-location and ground penetrating radar.

Lost Mercury Canisters

Mr. Pfoser was project manager of the San Gorgonia Station project in San Gorgonia, California for SCE. Mr. Pfoser investigated approximately 8 acres for lost Mercury canisters. The terrain was inclined nearly 45 degrees and was talus-covered. Numerous targets were identified for excavation. The method employed was cesium-vapor magnetics.

Lost UST Searches

Mr. Pfoser was project manager of the Treasure Island Naval Station project in San Francisco, California for OHM Remediation. Mr. Pfoser investigated 8 separate areas for lost USTs. Site complexity ranged from simple to highly complex. The methods employed included total field and gradient magnetics, ground penetrating radar, and electromagnetic utility-locating.

Landfill Delineation
and Buried Debris Search

Mr. Pfoser was project manager of the Robertson Redimix project in Azusa, California. Mr. Pfoser investigated an approximately 10-acre site to delineate the perimeter of a suspected landfill and identified areas of buried metal debris there within. The methods employed included ground penetrating radar and terrain conductivity.

Boring Site Investigation

Mr. Pfoser was project manager of the Mather Air Force project in Sacramento, California. Mr. Pfoser investigated approximately 200 exploratory boring sites for detectable subsurface interferences. No below ground facilities were encountered during subsequent excavation activities. The methods employed included ground penetrating radar and utility-location.
