Supporting another Oregon school project from the ground up.
GTFC-West recently completed ground improvement for the Danebo Elementary School Addition in Eugene, Oregon, working with Pence Contractors.
Site explorations identified soft, undocumented fill soils overlying organic soils within the development area. These compressible materials presented the potential for structural settlement, making ground improvement an important part of the foundation design. Based on the subsurface conditions and anticipated structural loads, Engineered Aggregate Piers (EAPs) were selected to improve the existing soils and provide reliable foundation support for the new addition.
