Colleges and Universities
Group Delta Consultants has provided geotechnical design and construction phase services to colleges and universities for projects ranging from new buildings/facilities, parking structures, and access roads. Our services typically include geotechnical recommendations for site development, evaluation of alternative foundation types, evaluation of slopes for temporary excavations, a geologic and seismic hazard evaluation in accordance with the 2007 California Building Code (CBC), Title 24 of the CCR and CDMG Note 48, including discussion of the historical seismicity of the area; surface fault rupture potential; anticipated ground accelerations, analysis of the seismic ground motion for the site in accordance with the 2007 CBC/ASCE 7-05; the potential for liquefaction or any other secondary seismic effects, and the potential for any other geologic or seismic hazards to affect the sites.
