Executive Engineering Summary

"Long Beach properties, situated in a high-density coastal zone, feature loose marine sands and a high groundwater table that averages 3 to 6 feet below grade. Decommissioning requires heavy dewatering pumps to manage active water seepage while hydraulic breakers breach the pool shell floor. Compaction must be executed to ASTM D1557 standards using non-corrosive coarse sands topped with organic loam, ensuring maximum long-term stability and permanent drainage compliance."
