UNM Taos Klauer Campus Water Storage Tank

Foundation analysis for critical infrastructure requiring comprehensive geotechnical evaluation and bearing capacity assessment.

The Challenge

When we first arrived at the site, we encountered a complex set of challenges that would test our expertise.

The UNM Taos Klauer Campus Water Storage Tank project required detailed foundation analysis to ensure the structural integrity of this critical infrastructure component. Our comprehensive geotechnical investigation included seismic refraction studies and bearing capacity analysis to develop appropriate foundation recommendations.

The Solution

Our approach began with detailed foundation analysis evaluated soil strength characteristics and loading conditions, ensuring adequate foundation design for the critical water storage tank infrastructure at unm taos. As we delved deeper into the project, p-wave seismic refraction study provided critical data for evaluating site response characteristics, ensuring foundation design accounted for seismic loading conditions in the taos region. Building on this foundation, comprehensive bearing capacity analysis integrated soil properties and structural loading requirements, developing appropriate foundation recommendations for the water storage tank.

The innovations that set this project apart included seismic refraction study enabled foundation design that accounts for seismic loading conditions, ensuring structural integrity of critical water storage infrastructure under earthquake scenarios. Additionally, comprehensive bearing capacity assessment integrated soil strength characteristics with structural loading requirements, ensuring reliable foundation performance for the water storage tank. Finally, specialized geotechnical investigation addressed unique requirements of critical water storage infrastructure, ensuring foundation design supports reliable water supply for unm taos campus.

The Impact

The results speak for themselves. Comprehensive geotechnical investigation enabled development of reliable foundation design, ensuring structural integrity of the critical water storage tank infrastructure. Beyond immediate success, seismic-aware foundation design ensures the water storage tank will perform reliably under earthquake conditions, protecting critical water supply infrastructure for the unm taos campus. Perhaps most importantly, integrated analysis and foundation design ensure the water storage tank will perform reliably, supporting continued water supply operations for the campus community.
