Executive Engineering Summary

"St. Petersburg properties, situated on a low-lying peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, sit on highly saturated marine sands underlain by clayey silts and limestone. Because the local water table routinely starts at depths of only 2 to 4 feet, pool demolition requires continuous active dewatering to prevent sidewall slumping and liquefaction. Decommissioning requires hydraulic breakers to puncture the pool slab floor, followed by compaction of select sand wrapped in structural geotextile fabric to prevent erosion."

Geotechnical & Soil Stability Analysis

Engineering-first assessment of subsurface conditions and structural risks.

Subsurface Type

Saturated Marine Sand overlying Hawthorn Clays

St. Petersburg's coastal soils are prone to washouts. Breaking the concrete pool floor cleanly allows vertical drainage and prevents water trapping.

Foundation Risk

Structural Assessment

High (Extremely high water table and loose marine sands require active dewatering and geotextile wraps to prevent washouts)

Stability Requirement

ASTM D1557 modified Proctor density with structural geotextile wrapping
