Foundation Failures examined at June EBCA

By Lynna Harrison, Association News Network, Inc. Photos by Bryan Harrison The East Bay Claims Association welcomed their guest Speaker, Kurt Ahlich, PE, of Rimkus Consulting Group, on June 11th for their Monthly Luncheon Meeting. Mr Ahlich is a licensed Civil Engineer, Engineering Contractor, and General Contractor.

He clearly has vast knowledge and experience with landslide, soiling subsidence, and retaining wall issues.

Mr. Ahlich explained we have problem soils in the Bay Area. Much of it is clay soil, highly weathered and close to the water, silt. Foundation Failure is almost always caused by problem soil, he explained. When the Foundation settles and moves the frame follows. It starts from the ground up causing Interior wall and, ceiling cracks, doors hard to open.

One solution he suggested is to build the structure with a void space between foundation and soil to give soil a space to expand.

Construction related causes for Foundation failure could be: Vegetation (tree roots); using fill soil; drainage; rain; irrigation; downspouts; and plumbing systems.

Mr. Ahlich did a great job and answered many questions.

The 50/50 Raffle was won by Ken Ridings of Engineering Design.

There will be no Luncheon in July because the East Bay Golf Tournament is July 25th at Eagle Vines Golf Course, 580 So. Kelly Rd, Napa. We hope to see you there.

EBCA Speaker Chair, Jodi DiVillier, and EBCA President Joe Baughman thanked guest speaker Kurt Ahlich, PE, of Rimkus for his insightful presentation on Foundation Failures.

CCNC Sponsorship Chair, Kathleen Taylor, gave a plea to fill available sponsorships for the August 18-20th conference. contact Kathleen at: ktaylor@ pdr-usa.net, or call her: 510-803-7082.

Happy Birthday, Melissa Asplund, of Alliance Environmental Group.

Dancing hamster arrested on insurance fraud charges LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Leroy Barnes, 27, of Los Angeles, known as one of the dancing hamsters in Kia commercials, was arrested on insurance fraud charges related to his alleged fraudulent collection of state disability insurance benefits. Barnes is suspected of deceiving his doctors about his employment status while he receiving disability benefits.

“Fraudulently collecting disability benefits is not only illegal, it disrespects legitimately injured Californians who are unable to work,” said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones.

In June 2010 while employed as a dancer for John Cossette Productions Barnes was struck by a piece of ceiling that fell on him during a sound check. Barnes received state disability insurance benefits from September 2010 to September 2011, totaling more than $51,000.

Barnes stated that he was not employed during the year he received state disability insurance. Detectives discovered evidence that Barnes was actually working while collecting disability benefits.

While receiving disability benefits, Barnes starred in a Kia car commercial playing the role of a dancing hamster. He also performed in a rap group called The Rej3ctz, under the alias MoWii, assisted in

recording the song Cat Daddy, and worked as a backup dancer for Madonna, Kelly Rowland, and Chris Brown under the name Hypnosis.

$270,000 Lamborghini damaged by uninsured tow company

CORONA, Calif.– Michael Bo Goar, 44, and Danielle Goar, 30, of Corona are facing three charges of auto collision and auto property fraud associated with making false statements to an insurance company for a $292,000 claim for damage to a 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo.

“Not purchasing commercial insurance was an unwise decision to achieve an unfair financial gain,” said Commissioner Dave Jones. “This alleged illegal activity placed other motorists at risk and creates unfair competition for other businesses that carry proper insurance coverage.”

The Goars received a contract to tow a 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo and during the move were involved in a collision. Michael and Danielle Goar both provided false statements to their insurance company stating the tow was a personal trip and not part of their towing business. The Department of Insurance investigation revealed evidence that contradicted the Goar’s statements and proved it was a tow commercial business towing job and therefore would not be covered by their personal auto insurance policy. The suspects did not have a commercial insurance policy associated with their tow business.

This case is being prosecuted by the local district attorney’s office.

If convicted, the Goars could face up to five years in state prison and a $50,000 fine.
