Geo-Advantec, Inc.

Scope Of Work

In 2012, Geo-Advantec conducted a comprehensive geotechnical study for a proposed three-story parking structure to be constructed at 1543 Ocean Front Walk, Santa Monica, California. The site was along and within a close distance from the shore line and our study on the site location concluded that the underlying soils strata at the site consisted of materials susceptible to liquefaction. In addition, regional seismicity and presence of major active faults was considered a signification hazard source in the site vicinity and required a thorough seismic hazard study at the site. The investigation was completed in a short time and the final report included our assessment of the site condition, post-liquefaction settlements at the site, and different mitigative alternative for earthquake-induced settlement.
