Bengal Engineering prepared plans and specifications for Laguna Sanitation District as a fast-track change order when plans prepared by others, encountering unanticipated ground water and liquefiable soils, proved unworkable.

The original concept of spread footings that required dewatering was replaced with Bengal Engineer's design of deep foundations. The Bengal concept minimized cost, time and disruption to the existing plant.

Bengal worked closely with the District and the contractor while construction continued.
