Thermal Plant Addition - San Francisco, CA
Foundation Investigation
A number of buildings in San Francisco's financial district continue to utilize steam for their heating systems. A foundation investigation was performed by AKA for a proposed addition to the existing San Francisco Thermal Plant located on Jessie Street in San Francisco. The addition consisted of a two-story, concrete-masonry building supported on spread footings. The loose nature of the underlying fill sands and the potential for liquefaction were the primary geotechnical concerns at the site.
