Geotechnical Borings by San Diego Unified Port District for Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal Redevelopment at Tenth Avenue Marine TerminalThe San Diego Unified Port District plans to conduct geotechnical investigations at the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal in San Diego, California, to support future redevelopment efforts. The work will include approximately five mud rotary borings to depths of 60 to 150 feet with diameters of 3 to 8 inches, ten hollow stem auger borings to depths of 10 to 30 feet with an 8-inch diameter, and twenty-five cone penetration tests extending 60 to 150 feet deep with a 3-inch diameter. Soil samples and drilling mud will be collected and temporarily stored in 55-gallon drums at a designated staging area near the Harborside delivery waiting area for up to 60 days before being transported offsite for laboratory analysis. All boreholes will be properly sealed upon completion using cement-bentonite grout and restored to match existing surface conditions. Drilling operations may span multiple days at certain locations, with steel plates used to cover open holes between shifts and equipment staged overnight in areas that do not disrupt port operations. The project is scheduled to begin in mid-2026 and is expected to take about 30 days to complete the field geotechnical work. Equipment will include a truck-mounted hollow stem auger drill rig with mud rotary capabilities, a CPT truck, support vehicles, and other specialized geotechnical tools. Due to the limited scale of the activity, the project is not expected to generate significant vehicle trips or cause notable impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, or local traffic. The Port District will ensure full compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations concerning hazardous materials, construction debris removal, and stormwater management. The work is being coordinated by the Port’s Capital Project Manager and Planner I, with contact information publicly listed for inquiries related to the project.

The Department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is soliciting proposals for a helicopter-borne survey utilizing a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) to conduct full tensor magnetic gradiometry (FTMG) over the Minto intrusion area near Minto, Yukon Territory. This advanced geophysical survey aims to measure the nine components of the magnetic gradient tensor at each measurement point, a method considered superior to traditional magnetic surveying techniques. The project, led by the Geological Survey of Canada, seeks to enhance magnetic anomaly detection and geological characterization by providing detailed subsurface magnetic property data through case studies focused on the Minto Area. The contract is open to federal organizations, with proposals due by February 6, 2026. The intended data collection will support research into tensor gradiometry’s applications for geoscience and magnetic anomaly detection, using helicopter deployment to cover the specified area efficiently. The primary point of contact for the solicitation is Len Pizzi, the Contracting Authority, who can be reached via email. This initiative underscores Canada's commitment to advancing geophysical surveying methods to improve resource exploration and environmental studies.

Full Description

Show more
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC; Technical Authority) is studying the potential of tensor gradiometry for both geoscience and magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) applications. Full tensor magnetic gradiometry (FTMG) data, which measures the full magnetic gradient tensor at each measurement point, is considered superior to traditional magnetic surveying techniques (e.g. scalar Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI)) and provides an opportunity for improved discrimination of magnetic sources and a more complete picture of the subsurface magnetic properties. This project includes several case studies, one of which is a survey focused over the Minto Area near Minto, YT, using a SQUID magnetometer device that measures the nine tensor components of the earth’s magnetic field. As such, a helicopter-borne SQUID survey is proposed over the Minto intrusion.
