 The
Boulevards at South Bay Pictures of the Remediation and Construction |
| |
The Boulevards at South Bay is a mixed-use commercial and
residential project being built on the southwest side of the I-405
freeway west of Avalon Boulevard. The project fronts on both the
north and south sides of Del Amo Boulevard and on the east side of
Main Street. The site has 157 acres and 1.2 million square feet of
retail and entertainment uses will be built in addition to 1550
residential units. The property was formerly used as a landfill.
Deep dynamic compaction was used to compact the landfill and reduce
settlement on the areas which will be used for parking. Deep dynamic
compaction consists of a 26 ton weight being dropped from a crane.
There are pictures showing the crane and weight. That process has
been completed. The methane gas collection system is currently being
installed on site. This system will collect any methane gas that may
be emitted from the landfill and vent the gas. The liner is also
being installed on the landfill to prevent any rain water to seep
through the landfill into the groundwater. There are pictures of the
pipes and liner being stored on site. All of the roads and utilities
have been removed. They will be replaced starting in April, 2010.
Although very little of the construction activities could be seen
from the adjacent roads, the work is proceeding and the installation
of the landfill gas collection system, liner and monitoring wells
should be complete in 2010. Additional information is available on
the City of Carson’s website. As the construction progresses, more
pictures will be added to the website. For a complete project
