SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION, SECTION A011, ROCKVILLE ROUTE

Results are summarized of seven supplementary test borings made in Section A011 of Rockville Route in four different locations, at the two stations in this section and near the planned Pooks Hill Road Power Substation of the Washington Metropolitan Area Metro System. The purpose of the work was to supplement earlier exploration at the station entrances and ancillary structures. The report contains geological sections incorporating these new borings, logs of the borings, results of laboratory tests on soil samples obtained and a discussion of anticipated design and construction problems.
