Executive Engineering Summary

"Northridge properties feature deep, fine alluvial loams and sandy silts typical of the San Fernando Valley floor. While the sandy loam drains quickly, water pools at the clay-limestone interface, creating a perched water table. Proper pool decommissioning requires strategic capillary drainage breaks and strict ASTM compaction to prevent underground sand washing and void formation."
