TRC was retained to execute a geotechnical investigation and deep foundation design for this project which involved constructing a portion of the proposed horse race track above an old slip between Piers No. 1 and No. 2 at the previous Chester Ship Building facility. The slip is approximately 200 ft wide and over 500 ft long. No geotechnical information was available within the slip area prior to our study. The portion of the race track that was the focus of this investigation is semi-circular in shape and about 100 ft wide and 500 ft long. The track was to be constructed of precast concrete planks supported on reinforced concrete pile bents spaced about 15 ft apart.​
