The Lower San Joaquin River Phase C-2 project is part of a larger flood-risk-management program to reduce flood risk in the North, Central, and South Stockton basins in California. Phase C-2 focuses on the Calaveras River Right Bank levee system and includes reaches totaling approximately 23,130 feet of levee between the San Joaquin River confluence and North El Dorado Street.
Geosyntec was retained by the project owner to provide a geotechnical and structural review for an ethylene plant being constructed in Saudi Arabia.
Center Hill Dam is one of the multipurpose projects that make up the Corps of Engineers' system for development of the water resources of the Cumberland River Basin.
The Wolf Creek Dam is located on the Cumberland River in the western part of Russell County, Kentucky. The dam provides hydroelectric power generation, flood management, water storage for year-round navigation, and water recreation. In addition, the dam serves as part of U.S. Highway 127.
Newport Naval Base in Newport, Rhode Island, had selected a site for a bulk fuel storage tank previously occupied by two underground fuel storage tanks connected by an undocumented trench in bedrock.
During construction of the massive underground highway project in Boston known as the "Big Dig," the Massachusetts Transportation Authority (MTA) entered into an agreement with the City of Quincy to dispose of "historic fill" excavated from the project.
Groundwater at a site in central Maine had become contaminated from past activities at the site. In order to make the site suitable for future uses, the contaminated groundwater had to be isolated.
In 2016, five areas of significant bank erosion were discovered near the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority (MVRTA) operating facility. The erosion spanned approximately 500 linear feet of shoreline of the tidally influenced Merrimack River and damaged several stormwater outfalls, a retaining wall, and the foundations of two MVRTA buildings.
BRAVO Strategies II LLC (BRAVO), an investment vehicle managed by PIMCO, engaged Geosyntec to evaluate an investment proposition consisting of two adjacent photovoltaic (PV) electricity generating plants comprising 289 and 532 hectares. The project is located in the southern part of the Atacama Desert, near Antofagasta, Chile, which is some of the world’s prime solar real estate. The potential $315 million venture would involve a construction of a 146 MWp solar power plant for interconnection to the national electrical grid via the Grand North Interconnected System (SING), which accounts for roughly one quarter of the total Chilean power capacity.
A confidential investor and development team expressed interest in investing, acquiring, enhancing, and expanding a geothermal energy facility located in a well-known, yet complex, geothermal area in Imperial Valley, California. To evaluate the viability of this investment, they requested a comprehensive analysis of the site's existing resources and facilities to evaluate the following: The potential for the existing power plant equipment to regain up to 20 milliwatts (mW) and expand up to 50 mW as per agreement terms with the power agency The conditions of the subsurface infrastructure, supply and return wells, and their potential for enhancement The viability of a new energy recovery design concept using oil-field-tested directional drilling and how it may be applicable in expanding the field to 250 mW The technical, environmental, and financial viability of the investment Preliminary assessments suggested that the facility’s current technology was not fully operational. The client group sought to understand the potential advantages of not only purchasing the plant, but also enhancing its capabilities in collaboration with third parties. This necessitated detailed evaluations of both surface and subsurface conditions such as geological characteristics, permitting requirements, stakeholder dynamics, regulatory compliance, and power plant performance.
