31 60 00: Special Foundations and Load-Bearing Elements
Conventional foundation excavation can disturb plantings and soil, and cause sediment runoff and erosion, especially in fragile environments, such as boardwalks and decking in wetlands, and in erosion-prone areas. When the soil conditions are poor, it is sometimes removed entirely, trucked to a landfill, and replaced with engineered fill, requiring the expenditure of energy to remove transport the loads to and from the building site. Other foundation support systems in poor-soil conditions typically require use of steel or cement.
Products listed in GreenSpec require less extensive excavation or less transport of materials.
