The challenge
Expansive clay soil and a 14-foot cantilever over the pool terrace meant both the foundation and the steel had to be engineered for movement.
Our solution
A pier-supported post-tension slab, a concealed steel moment frame for the cantilever, and a construction sequence that let the pool and structure be built in parallel.
The result
Handed over 9 days ahead of schedule and on the contract price, with zero structural punch-list items.
