The variable subsurface stratigraphy, including a thick, highly-compressible organic layer, protection of the groundwater, concerns with the generation of contaminated spoils, and differential settlement required the use of an innovative foundation solution for the new sports complex and youth training center. The composite aggregate/grouted rigid inclusions resulted in cost savings and reduced the construction time.
