This project involves the construction of a large recreational complex including 3 hockey rinks, two pools, and other accommodations. The footprint of the proposed complex is approximately 145,000 ft2 (13,470 m2). The site required a grade up raise up to 1.9m from existing grade. The ground improvement scope of work was designed in two phases to mitigate the low bearing capacity and the expected high settlement.<\/p>\n

Ground Conditions<\/h3>\n

Soils encountered within the footprint of the building consisted of topsoil, overlying a fill material, followed by a native silty sand to sandy silt layer, underlain by silty clay to clayey silt deposit following, a glacial till deposit and ultimately limestone and shale bedrock. The deep compressible silty clay layers made the site unsuitable for the proposed development without ground improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
