Our firm has conducted geotechnical design services including pavement coring and laboratory testing for numerous
pavement improvement projects for the City of Clovis. One of these projects included pavement coring/drilling borings
within Alluvial Avenue, between Clovis and Sunnyside Ave. as part of a pavement rehabilitation project conducted in
2014-2015. The street section exhibited significant areas of alligator cracking and the City required investigation for new
pavement design. The existing pavement section thicknesses (existing thickness of asphaltic concrete and aggregate base
materials) were determined and the subgrade soils were sampled for laboratory testing. Based on the data obtained,
design recommendations were prepared for construction of a new structural section. Our firm subsequently provided the
construction inspection and materials testing for the rehabilitation based on the recommendations.
