Executive Engineering Summary

"Torrance residential properties sit on the transition from the sandy soils of the South Bay to the stiff clays of the Palos Verdes hills. The clay layers absorb water rapidly, swelling to more than double their dry volume, causing severe lateral shifting. Proper pool decommissioning requires breaking the slab floor completely using hydraulic hammers to prevent perched water tables, paired with precise compaction of low-plasticity select fill."
