Liquefaction Control

GTA offers the best solutions to liquefaction control for new construction or seismic retrofits, our new patented
E-QUAKE^TM drains.

	E-QUAKE Drain Liquefaction Control - GTA introduces a new method for treating liquefiable soils using prefabricated vertical drains in conjunction with a reservoir to maintain soil pore pressure at safe levels.
	E-QUAKE drains are installed for liquefaction control during a seismic retrofit at the historic Charleston Courthouse in South Carolina.
	E-QUAKE drains are installed for a new hotel in St. Lucia, British West Indies. The drains were tested by a 5.4 magnitude earthquake even before the hotel was finished.
