Gerwick specializes in structural/foundation designs for liquefaction mitigation of loose sand deposits in seismically active regions.

We can assess liquefaction potential due to resonance from wave and ice loading on marine structures.

Related services include:

  • assessment of liquefaction risk/consequences
  • identification of liquefiable zones
  • ground improvement to reduce the risks of liquefaction

Typical projects include foundations for:

  • bridges; artificial islands
  • civil works
  • locks/dams
  • wharves/piers
  • tunnels
