Geotechnical Checklist: GTR Review Checklist for Centerline Cuts and EMBA

The app checklist and technical guidelines have been developed to aid engineers in their review of projects containing major and unusual geotechnical features. The major information and recommendations that should be addressed in project geotechnical reports. Reviews made during the preliminary stage of project development will commonly consist of reviewing the geotechnical report only, since detailed plans and specifications may not yet be prepared. Are station-to-station recommendations included? Are there erosion protection measures for back slopes, side slopes, and ditches, including riprap recommendations or special slope treatment. Are recommended slope designs and blasting specifications provided? Is the need for special rock slope stabilization measures, e.g., rockfall catch ditch, wire mesh slope protection, shotcrete, rock bolts, addressed? Has the use of “template” designs been avoided (such as designing all rock slopes on 0.25:1 rather than designing based on the orientation of major rock jointing)? The Geotechnical Checklist: GTR Review Checklist for Centerline Cuts and EMBA mobile app allows you to replace your paper checklist with a mobile device. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date, site location/GPS, notes, inspector and captures inspector's signature. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your bridge engineering and construction records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
