Executive Engineering Summary

"Fort Lauderdale properties sit over highly porous Biscayne Aquifer limestone and permeable coastal sands. Because the local water table routinely starts at depths of only 2 to 4 feet, excavations are highly prone to immediate water infiltration and sidewall slumping. Decommissioning requires continuous operation of dewatering pumps, structural bottom shell puncturing, and wrapping select fill with geotextile fabric to prevent sediment washing and soil liquefaction."
