K & A Engineering, Inc. designed the foundation system, including perimeter retaining walls, for a large 4-story apartment Structure which included basement-level parking.  Large spread footings were designed and constructed to provide support for large vertical and lateral loads.

Services provided by K & A Engineering, Inc. included:

  • A Geotechnical investigation of the project site using our truck-mounted Geotechnical drill to assess subsurface conditions and make recommendations for site development and foundation systems,
