Rockridge Geotechnical (RG) performed the geotechnical investigation and provided services during the construction of the Tahanan complex. Based on the results of the geotechnical investigation, RG recommended that the building be supported on a shallow foundation bearing on ground improvement. The ground improvement was designed to transfer building loads below a surficial layer of loose to medium-dense fill and native dune sand.
