Under the ground

The plans and surveys the site keeps, asked once of the school’s ground — footprints and plan maps, not engineering findings.

• The February 2011 survey drew liquefaction over this point — mapped ground failure — a footprint, not a finding
• Inside a recorded flood footprint — 2011-2014 Flooding - Mayoral Flood Taskforce
• The liquefaction model grades it “Liquefaction Damage is Possible” — the 2019 screening study
