RMA Group was repeatedly awarded contracts to provide geotechnical, geologic, materials, and inspections services for each segment of the project over a span of 12 years. RMA’s services consisted of coordinating materials testing and inspection requirements with the District’s staff, providing materials testing technicians and inspectors to perform field and laboratory tests, and ensuring construction inspection as required, verifying conformance of the materials for the project to the approved plans and specifications. A geologist evaluated the native soils exposed in the excavation for the foundation of the levees. Materials testing technicians and construction inspectors worked under the direction of the Resident Engineer, Carrie Schindler, who said of RMA’s staff member, “Brian Platt was an integral part of the District’s inspection staff for the San Sevaine Creek Channel… coupling his extensive knowledge of construction methods and materials with the contract documents to insure the project was well constructed.”
