We experienced some softer than ideal soil conditions while excavating at the lakeview project. This led to a few delays and we decided to call in an engineer experienced with alternative foundation building techniques such as screw piling and compacting fill. After exposing final bottom of footing grade we were relieved to test the soil bearing and finding it adequate. We will do a broader study once it is all dug out but avoiding a screw pile foundation was a major relief.
