Oyster Point Marina Plaza

The Oyster Point Marina Plaza Seismic Retrofit project includes the retrofit of the foundations and structural support systems of two office buildings located at the Oyster Point Marina Plaza office park in South San Francisco, California.  Over several years the property has experienced inconsistent but considerable settlement, as much as six feet in some areas, exposing a portion of the building foundations and reducing their structural capacity.  The project, developed on behalf of Kashiwa Fudosan America, implements a seismic “buttress system,” which introduces new piles, pile caps and collector beams, encompassing the existing foundations, to improve the overall seismic capacity of these systems.
