Haley & Aldrich, Inc. conducted a geotechnical investigation for the Stinson Beach Lifeguard Tower and Visitor Snack Bar Replacement in Marin County, California. The project involves constructing a new three-story building with a covered deck, parking garage, boardwalk, retaining wall, and slab-on-grade, along with utility improvements. Key geotechnical concerns include strong seismic shaking, potentially liquefiable soil layers up to 50 feet below ground surface, and undocumented fill. To mitigate these issues, a deep foundation system of prestressed concrete piles is recommended for the main building, penetrating through liquefiable soils to underlying native alluvial clays and sands. Timber piles will support the deck and boardwalk. Without mitigation, settlement of 6 to 8 inches is estimated, which would be reduced to less than 1 inch with deep foundations. The report details subsurface conditions, seismicity, seismic hazards like liquefaction and lateral spreading, and provides recommendations for foundations, earthworks, and utility installations, emphasizing the need for ongoing geotechnical oversight during construction.
