Why is commercial walls different in East County San Diego?
East County commercial sites in El Cajon and Santee deal with expansive clay soils that require soils reports identifying the active clay zone depth before wall footing design can be finalized. Commercial wall projects here often involve a higher-than-standard footing depth and aggressive drainage systems because the combination of heavy clay and commercial surcharge creates demanding design conditions. Experienced commercial crews plan for longer mobilization and excavation schedules on East County clay sites.
