• SOIL & GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS The soil investigation revealed a profile of 30-40 meters of garbage, construction debris and highly toxic/salty soils unsuitable for both construction and planting. Mass earth moving and soil treatment took place to create a layer of good soil. An impermeable clay layer 0.5 meters thick, placed two meters beneath the top soil, along with a complete sub-surface drainage system.
