Junior Lifeguard Building

Advanced Geosolutions Inc. (AGI) performed Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC) to improve the ground conditions at the Junior Lifeguard Building project in Newport Beach, California. The RIC densified the existing soils, to increase bearing capacity, and reduce settlements to acceptable limits. GEOCON West Inc., performed post-improvement Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) to verify that the soil improvement achieved a minimum value of 15 blows per foot at each tested location. AGI successfully improved the fill soils and achieved the minimum SPT values required.
