Alameda Landing Waterfront

Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC), Wick Drains, and Cement Deep Soil Mixing (DSM)

Alameda, California

Project Description

Design and construction of ground improvement to mitigate geohazards for the Alameda Landing Waterfront real estate development. The ground improvement work comprised over one million linear feet of Wick Drains to expedite a surcharge program to mitigate the compressibility of the soft bay mud, Rapid Impact Compaction of 750,000 square feet of undocumented fill soils, and 43,000 cubic yards of DSM buttress wall to limit the lateral spreading risk to tolerable displacement goals during a seismic event.
