Urban Development

Redevelopment of older areas and the movement of population back to urban environments has spurred new development in our inner cities. Development bordered by existing homes and other structures brings its own unique geotechnical challenges. LGC has been an integral part of the urban movement in the new century.

Our engineers are familiar with the design of high-rise structures and the challenges of foundation design in problematic geotechnical conditions. We have designed pile, matt, and displacement foundation systems for a series of buildings from San Francisco to San Diego. Our engineers have provided recommendations for dewatering and the temporary stability of subterranean parking structures. We will work with your design structural engineer and architect to determine the most cost effective foundation solution.
