Azalea Park Improvements

Bridge construction in city park from BLE

Asheville, NC

Project Description: Geotechnical Engineering in Asheville, NC

Bunnell Lammons Engineering provided geotechnical engineering and materials testing for Phase I of a $3.7 million road improvement project at Azalea Park in Asheville, NC. The project, funded through a mix of sources, aimed to improve infrastructure and flood control.

Project Scope: Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Materials Testing

BLE’s geotechnical investigation in Asheville NC, including site assessment, soil borings, and lab testing, was crucial for designing stable foundations and earthwork due to complex subsurface conditions. Geotechnical recommendations for soil stabilization, foundation design, and drainage were made to ensure the infrastructure’s long-term performance and safety.

BLE also delivered comprehensive construction materials testing services for this Asheville project. This included rigorous on-site monitoring and testing of soil compaction, concrete strength, and asphalt quality to guarantee that all materials adhered to the project’s specifications and that the construction was executed in accordance with the design plans, ultimately ensuring the completed infrastructure would meet its performance objectives.

Project Outcome: Improved Infrastructure with Geotechnical Expertise

The project outcomes included improved flood management, enhanced infrastructure for various users, new traffic features, and road improvements, with BLE’s geotechnical expertise ensuring the stability and long-term success of these enhancements for park users.
