Here is a scenario: The contractor is installing fairly large power pole structures (240kV, l=90' d=2.0') and I am working as a geotech monitor for the soil conditions in the foundations of the wooden pole structures. The engineering specs state that ALL pole foundations must be backfilled with...

Sorry, I should have specified the size of the poles. They are for a 240kV line. They are they big two or three pole structures having poles with lower diameter of approximately 2 feet and a height of approximately 90 ft. Boreholes are done using a solid stem 30" auger. Sampling is done by hand...
Are the installation of power poles typically monitored by a geotech? If so, what are the concerns?
The reason I am asking is because I am currently working as a geotech in northern Canada on a drill monitoring job which requires me to classify the soil in the base of the drilled hole. This is...
