And the rigging sub would normally would install any necessary cribbing to bear on that would lower the unit soil pressure to a quite conservative value if tilting is an issue.

Two Questions? 1) Why is the Geotechnical Engineer not being involved? I would assume that any significant road construction would have a Geotechnical Engineer. I would think that this would be especially true if a 300 ton crane was involved. 2) Whu are you involved unless you are hired by the Contractor? Normally we would identify this as Contractors means and methods and leave it for him to resolve..
