West City Campus honored by the American Society of Civil Engineers!

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

During the redevelopment and expansion of the campus, engineers encountered a complicated issue of problematic liquefiable soils at the site. A cost effective solution used ground modification techniques featuring vibro-densification and stone columns. The plan was approved by the Division of the State Architect, and several hundred stone columns were installed.

The columns are a perfect analogy of the solid foundation we provide at Continuing Education!
