Foundation Conditions in Denver
Denver's foundation engineering is defined by the Denver Formation — a Cretaceous-age sequence of claystone, sandstone, and siltstone that weathers to extremely expansive soils. Some areas have measured swell pressures exceeding 30,000 psf, among the highest in the United States. This expansive soil problem causes hundreds of millions of dollars in residential foundation damage annually along the Front Range. For commercial and institutional construction, drilled shafts (straight-shaft or belled) bearing in bedrock or extending through the active zone are standard. Denver's construction boom (driven by population growth and corporate relocations) has created intense demand for both new construction deep foundations and residential foundation repair services.
