IFE Role

IFE was retained by the Hemet Unified School District to perform geotechnical investigation / geological hazards reviews and provide all required testing and inspection during the construction phase of the Winchester Elementary School Modernization Project. The primary issue requiring mitigation was the potential for liquefaction and associated seismic settlement. Our report includes design recommendations along with the field and laboratory data. We also included recommendations for site grading.
