The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in New York commissioned a geotechnical report for a covered canopy solar array project at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Farmingdale, NY. The project aims to install an open canopy structure with a solar array system along the northern perimeter of the existing parking lot, supported by steel framing and concrete piers. The report details subsurface exploration, geotechnical evaluations, and recommendations for foundation design and construction. It recommends drilled shaft foundations, bearing at least 3 feet into native sandy soils, with specific parameters for design and lateral load analysis. The report also provides detailed construction guidelines for drilled shafts, including temporary casing, cleaning procedures, and concrete placement methods. Special geotechnical inspections are required to verify structural fill, drilling operations, and compliance with design requirements. The site's geology consists of sandy outwash plains, and seismic design should use Site Class D according to UFC 3-301-01.
