RECENT PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
FEBRUARY 2025 PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Retaining Wall with Concrete Bottom Layer


Constant moisture on this retaining wall required some inventive design to increase the longevity of the structure given the desire for attractive wood construction.

Soils Engineer: Ashton Buckner of Haro, Kasunich & Associates, Inc.
Structural Design Engineer: Jody Collins of Ifland Engineers
Civil Engineer: Jon Ifland of Ifland Engineers
JANUARY 2025 PROJECT HIGHLIGHT
Hillside Home 7 Inches Out of Level


Massive settlement of this hillside property required some inventive solutions to remain under budget. Fully engineered solutions involving helical piles, helical tiebacks, and resistive piers, and a "plate lift" saved the day.

Soils Engineer: Greg Bloom, GE of Butano Geotechnical Engineering
