LCR&A engineers functioned as members of a Peer Review Team responsible for evaluating the condition and integrity of foundation piles after unexplained movements had been observed during construction.  LCR&A engineers evaluated the analyses by engineers of record, the soil investigation and laboratory testing program, slope inclinometer measurements, slope stability, and pile-driving procedures used during construction.  A report the clients discussed the likely causes of movement, response of piles in moving soil, and recommendations for completing the project.
