Geotechnical firm Treadwell and Rollo has performed the geotechnical investigation for the new San Francisco 49ers NFL Stadium to be constructed in Santa Clara, California. In addition to soil borings, CPT and seismic CPT tests were conducted to assist with developing a site specific response spectrum and seismic design criteria for the site. The project is expected to begin construction in 2012. [Source: blog.treadwellrollo.com. Image: Rendering by HNTB by way of Treadwell and Rollo]
