INNOVATIVE DESIGN – SACRAMENTO SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND SCIENCES
Faced with a building site that had extremely poor soil conditions, KNA looked to alternative foundation design solutions and chose the Geopier® System. This was the first use of the Geopier® Foundation System on a California Public School project. Use of the Geopier® system eliminated the need for costly site remediation and saved the owner about $1,000,000.
