Foundation Conditions in St. Paul
St. Paul's geology is defined by the Mississippi River bluffs and the underlying St. Peter sandstone formation. The city's extensive inventory of historic buildings from the 1880sā1920s creates ongoing demand for underpinning and foundation rehabilitation. Sandstone caves beneath the city (formerly used for mushroom farming and cold storage) occasionally cause settlement issues. The bluff areas along the river require slope stabilization, while the floodplain areas need deep foundations to reach competent bearing below alluvial deposits.
