Abstract
This article contains data of the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of five different fine-grained soils of the former Lake Texcoco. The data were back-calculated from excess pore pressure dissipation measurements collected at 119 locations using piezocone tests (CPTu). The test campaign was part of the geotechnical survey performed for the construction of the New Mexico City International Airport (NAICM). Descriptive statistical parameters of each soil unit are presented and lognormal probability distributions are fitted to describe the natural variability of the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of this site.

Summary
Raw and analyzed – Horizontal hydraulic conductivity of fined-grained soils was indirectly measured using excess pore pressure dissipation records from piezocone tests (CPTu) New Mexico City International Airport (NAICM), Texcoco, Mexico. The data are of vital importance in the estimation of the degree of consolidation achieved by the conventional preload technique with prefabricated vertical drains implemented for the construction of the NAICM runways. The data and their statistical parameters can be used in the design of pumping systems and soft ground improvement methods for the airport structures under construction. The dataset of this article provides information about the horizontal hydraulic conductivity of five different fine-grained soils of the former Lake Texcoco. Goodness-of-fit tests were performed to evaluate lognormal distribution hypotheses
