The development of 900 Innes in India Basin transformed the park with an emphasis on habitat and wetland restoration and enhancement, public access, resiliency to sea level rise, social equity and waterfront recreation. The new site includes integrated parks, trails and open space systems with amenities.
AGS was responsible for a geotechnical engineering study at India Basin Shoreline Park (900 Innes Park) for two phases of redevelopment, including 2.4 acres of new park construction with a pier, ramp, basketball court, and bicycle path and 7.9 acres of Shoreline Park with wood deck overlook, seawalls, fixed and floating piers, and a one-story structure. Both park spaces meet the requirements for a 100-Year Flood Event.
The geotechnical exploration consisted of nine onshore borings, ten CPT tests, and 6 offshore borings to characterize subsurface conditions and develop site-specific geotechnical design parameters for existing and proposed pile foundations and earthwork operations. AGS also performed seismically induced lateral deformation and static global slope stability analyses of the site along several cross sections to evaluate the effects of liquefaction on-site stability.
