- Martinez
The diverse topography of Martinez, which is characterized by the hillside communities close to Alhambra Valley, and old flatland communities on the Marina Vista Avenue, Howe Road and Pine Street, generates soil conditions which may change dramatically on account of the weather and groundwater trends. Houses along the Carquinez Strait are built on sensitivity to moisture, which swells and becomes soft in the wet season, and those along the creek of Alhambra or Morello Avenue may have areas of settlement due to run-off, erosion, or due to old fill. The well-established neighborhoods near the Center Avenue and the Vine Hill may also experience soil movement which begins small but develops greatly with the changing of the moisture cycles.
Such initial indicators as the sinking of the concrete pads, dislocation between soil and the foundation leading edge, or the expansion of cracks over the exterior surfaces usually indicates that the soil beneath your house is losing its footing. Our team is the one that analyzes the soil composition of the Martinez area and strengthens the ground performance before such modifications can evolve into expensive foundation or structure related problems.
Use of Soil Strengtheners to Support Heavy Structures
Huge houses, revetment walls, and commercial houses need soil that has high load-bearing capacity. At Martinez, aging fill material or heavy clay soil may lose its strength over time and cause stress to the structural components.
Our team measures density, moisture retention, and soil action under heavy structures and implements some means of stabilization based on the weight and format of the property. This removes the uneven sinking, lessens the soil movement over a long period and enhances the support system of the building in general.
How Soil Stabilization Prevents Settlement
What makes soil stabilization essential to the long-term structural stability is a realization of how soil stabilization prevents settlement. We examine the interaction of soil layers with moisture, pressure and the structural load before any reinforcement is started.
We reinforce the deeper layers of soil such that the ground no longer heaves irregularly with the weight of the house.
This stabilized soil ensures the same support during the wet winters and dry summer of Martinez.
This is done by enhancing the stability of ground thus eliminating the small movements which ultimately cause severe settlement.
Commercial Construction Soil Stabilization
The business development in Martinez, particularly the areas around Pacheco Boulevard, Escobar Street, and the commercial downtown area rely on the sound performance of the soil in order to remain structurally stable. A stabilization of the soil before commencing construction, ensures that unnecessary setbacks are negated, on the way and after the construction process.
- Preparing Subgrade Layers for Construction Loads: We develop soil layers to carry large foundations and infrastructures.
- Improving Ground Uniformity Beneath Footings and Slabs: Stabilized soil minimizes the differing settlement which is the problem in commercial construction.
- Ensuring Lasting Stability for High-Traffic Areas: Parking, walkways and heavy traffic surfaces can be reinforced in terms of ground support.
These measures provide the commercial properties with durability that is applicable in the long term.
Superiority in Every Soft Story Retrofit Project
More than half of the buildings in Martinez were built prior to the modern seismic and soil requirements. That is why the soil stabilization contributes significantly to the enhancement of the soft-story buildings. Our team analyzes the soil interaction of the lower-level framing, detects the areas that may be subjected to the degradation, and implements specific reinforcement.
We then combine soil stabilization and seismic retrofitting in order to make the whole support system stronger. Such combination provides a supportive structure to soft-story buildings, which can endure the movement of soils in the ground and even the shaking of the ground.
Verified Client Reviews
We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
