Flagstaff Geology and Overcoming Unique Construction Challenges
Standing at 12,633 feet, Flagstaff is home to Arizona’s tallest mountain, Humphreys Peak, part of a now-extinct volcano. These San Francisco Peaks are part of a larger volcanic field that dramatically shaped the landscape of Northern Arizona with eruptions that continued until circa AD 1085.
The effects of this geologic upheaval directly affect local construction today, via site conditions that include volcanic bedrock, basalt, limestone, sandstone, and high plasticity clay. Understanding and planning for this regionally unique geology is essential to both budget and schedule adherence for any Flagstaff project. In this way, Loven Contracting’s 35 years of work in Flagstaff proves invaluable to our clients, providing experience-based site analysis, constructability reviews, and permitting and design approval.
