Camden County LINK Trail
High-volume test pit investigation through difficult terrain along a linear trail corridor in Southern New Jersey.
Delivering subsurface verification through difficult terrain and remote pit locations along the trail alignment.
The Camden County LINK Trail expansion required physical verification of subsurface conditions along Segments 1D and 1E ahead of design. Test pits are the right tool for this — direct, documented, repeatable — and the scope called for them at scale.
The complication was the field condition. Pit locations weren't lined up along an easy access path. Many sat off-trail in wooded, uneven terrain that required selective clearing before equipment could even reach them. The field problem was less about technical complexity and more about disciplined access and production across a distributed, hard-to-reach footprint.
Clear the access. Reach the pit. Execute. Move on.
Seylone executed over 40 test pits across Segments 1D and 1E. For the pits in remote, off-trail locations, selective clearing came first — removing only what was needed to open equipment access without touching vegetation that didn't need to go. This kept disturbance minimal and respected the character of the trail corridor the design was being built around.
Mobilization, sequencing, and crew staging were set up around the realities of the terrain — not a generic production rhythm. Each pit was documented for the design team and closed out to site condition before the crew moved to the next location.
Forty-plus pits completed. Field data delivered. Segment closed.
Seylone completed the scope as contracted, with field data delivered to support design advancement along Segments 1D and 1E of the LINK Trail.
The engagement demonstrated disciplined, production-focused field execution in difficult, off-path terrain — and added another out-of-state program to Seylone's multi-state project footprint.
