Geotechnical Engineering Analysis
After demolition was completed, the southern column piers were found to have sunk since the building was constructed nearly 40-years ago. Additionally, the floor in southern half of the building was found to have heaved and, therefore, require replacement. In order to remediate this possible structural deficiency and the floor heaving, the City of Horton contracted with Terracon Consulting Engineers to evaluate the moisture, load bearing capacity, and general character of the geology surrounding the Blue Building. The final report from Terracon has been provided in order to give volunteers and interested citizens regarding the findings of the report and to better understand the remedial actions that will be necessary to correct the building.
