Project scope and field context
ATI Panamericana, in cooperation with TACA and AEROMAN S.A., conducted a pre-construction geotechnical investigation for a planned new air hangar at the Compalapa International Airport. AEROMAN S.A., a subsidiary of Air Canada, provides aircraft maintenance services to Air Canada, Jet Blue, Air Jamaica, US Airways, TACA, and other major airlines. Their current facility has four lines of production that allows AEROMAN to service simultaneously four aircraft. ATI’s services included advancing soil borings to 65 feet and collecting continuous soil samples using a split-spoon sampler and a California sampler, preparation of soil logs, and soil classification. The data were used to prepare a geotechnical report that provided foundation recommendations, site preparation and earthquake design parameters, and risk evaluation.
