Project Description
This foundation is designed for a 100-unit apartment complex. During excavation, a significant amount of water was encountered, necessitating proper management to prevent contamination. For the sheeting and shoring, a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) was utilized alongside a drain board to effectively manage water and protect the integrity of the foundation.
Project Summary
A large apartment project faced water intrusion during excavation. GCL and drain board systems were installed to manage the issue. The solution ensured foundation stability and long-term protection.
