Targeting high-precision compaction in Woodland Hills's Highly Plastic Clay over Shale matrix to ensure zero landscape shift over 25+ years.
Equipment
Compact Spec
Backfill
Select-Fill
"Woodland Hills residential properties, located in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, sit on highly plastic clays and dense diatomaceous shale. 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."
