Woodbury Subdivision
Davidon Homes
Commercial Project | Lafayette, CA
This multi-stage project is one of our on-going builds. Over the course of several years, CalWalls installed retaining, sound, bioretention, and bioswale walls for this condo complex. As part of a hillside residential development, construction here has its own distinctive challenges that require specialized engineering and unique materials suited to the job.
Some of these challenges include:
- infrastructure confinements
- space and property line constraints
- large amounts of off-haul
- hillside digging and building during California’s rainy season
The solution: a non-traditional approach using helical piles underneath GS2 block, combined with Geowall where needed.
Helical piles allow for stable construction even on sloped, wet ground and create a minimum of soil displacement and off-haul. This makes them perfectly suited for this complex job. Our strategy not only deals with all project-specific issues but also:
- increases productivity, safety, stability
- minimizes overall cost, mid-construction problems, total construction time
