Two Kings Casino

Kings Mountain
Cleveland County, NC

Two Kings Casino

The construction of a new casino in Cleveland County necessitated upgrading the existing interchange of Dixon School Road and I-85. The new interchange is being upgraded to a diverging diamond interchange with a set of two-span dual bridges. Each of the bridge end bents was constructed using MSE abutments. CG2 performed all the geotechnical investigations and also prepared the roadway, retaining wall, pavement, and structure recommendations and plans for the project. Our geotechnical scope of work was completed in 2021, and the interchange is currently under construction.

French Broad Paving Asphalt Plant

Marshall
Madison County, NC

French Broad Paving Asphalt Plant

CG2 was requested to perform a preliminary and a final geotechnical exploration for the proposed French Broad Paving Asphalt Plant. The project site is located at 3807 U.S. 25 in Marshall, North Carolina. Based on available aerial photography, the site serves as a quarry containing large material stockpiles, gravel driveways, and laydown areas. The preliminary subsurface exploration included a total of 9 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings within the proposed asphalt plant area. Soil samples collected from split spoon sampling during preliminary drilling operations were selected and tested for Atterberg limit testing (ASTM D 4318), materials finer than #200 sieve testing (ASTM D 1140), and moisture content testing (ASTM D 2216). CG2’s deliverables included our field exploration findings, evaluations of the encountered on-site soils and their suitability for use as structural fill, support of shallow foundations, and support of slab-on-grade, tank, and silo as well as pavements based on our investigative exploration. CG2 also provided the client with recommendations for site preparation and testing during construction activities.

Silgan Containers

Lancaster
Lancaster County, SC

Silgan Containers

This project is located on Camp Creek Road in Lancaster, SC. The proposed construction consists of a 60,000 square foot one-story building with a slab-on-grade floor system. Heavy machine loads and industrial equipment on the floor slabs are anticipated with moderately heavy truck loading of the parking and driveway areas. Six SPT borings were completed and split spoon soil samples were tested for Atterberg limit testing (ASTM D 4318), materials finer than #200 sieve testing (ASTM D 1140), and moisture content testing (ASTM D 2216). CG2’s deliverable report included the results of the subsurface exploration findings, site characterization, engineering analyses, and recommendations for the design construction of the proposed building expansion. CG2 completed the subsurface geotechnical exploration and design recommendations in October 2019.

Client Testimonials

Adam Peter

Project Engineer

I have worked closely with Matt and Rob on a variety of transportation projects in North Carolina. They are knowledgeable, dependable and we consistently look for opportunities to team with CG2.
Chuck Boyle

Project Engineer

BOYLE has worked with CG2 for several years and I cannot say enough about the quality of their geotechnical drilling services. They are easy to work with, responsive, accurate, and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the Best!
Matthew J. Amick

Project Manager

In my nearly 20 years in the geotechnical industry, CG2 is by far the most productive and professional subsurface exploration company I have worked with. They will continue to be my go-to contractor for drilling and clearing services.
Jeremy Hamm

Project Engineer

CG2 has become a highly valued and trusted partner. Not only are their drill crews professional, efficient, and experienced, they are managed by top-notch Geoprofessionals who become true partners through scoping, planning, and execution of Geotechnical field testing activities. Having land-clearing and CPT services in-house only adds to the value they provide, reducing coordination and administrative efforts associated with having multiple sub-contractors on a project.
Allan Paul

Senior Project Engineer / Project Manager

CG2’s field crews worked respectfully, diligently, and safely on a busy University Campus in high-pedestrian traffic area. They understood the assignment and executed their work in an efficient manner. Their equipment was in good working order and they had the tools and supplies needed to complete each task requested of them. By maximizing their effort, they exceeded my schedule expectations. Afterward, they were able to pivot operations to assist us with another local project before demobilizing back the Charlotte area.
Dana Goodnight

Project Geologist

CG2 field operations are some of the most efficient for getting difficult projects completed in a timely fashion. Their drilling capabilities in challenging areas (such as mountain area geologic contexts) have proven to be extremely reliable and effective.
Erin Greene

Project Geologist

My experiences working with CG2 Exploration have been excellent. From the initial proposal to the resulting field work, I trust that any environmental drilling they complete will be done to the highest standard and efficiently, while leaving the site as close to the original condition as feasible. When challenging drilling conditions were encountered, they maintained effective communication and we were able to collaborate an effective solution. CG2 sets the bar for professionalism throughout their projects.
