Nearly an entire city block was owned by Bank of America in Concord, and planned for a new downtown branch, offices and a parking garage. This structure was located approximately 200 feet from the active Concord fault. Detailed geotechnical design and geologic hazard assessments were performed by AKA and their consulting geologist (Darwin Myers) to develop design criteria for this project. AKA monitored the geotechnical aspects during construction of this facility.

As part of a redevelopment project in the downtown Berkeley area, a turn-of-the-century structure was rehabilitated. The structure was designed to mimic art-deco features later added to the structure. Eddie Bauer and Gateway Computers moved in as the primary tenants of this building. AKA performed the geotechnical design studies and monitored the geotechnical aspects of construction during the renovation of the building.

A new hotel and bakery/restaurant facility was planned for a major intersection in Napa. AKA provided geotechnical studies and construction monitoring of these facilities. Additionally, AKA provided design criteria to address expansive soil concerns evaluated during the studies.
