The document summarizes a micropile construction project for seismic retrofitting of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge in California. The 5.5 mile long bridge connects Richmond and San Rafael and sits between two fault lines. AGRA Foundations was contracted to install 476 production micropiles and 5 performance test piles to strengthen bridge pier foundations down to the bedrock of the geologically complex Franciscan Formation. Load testing confirmed the micropiles achieved the required design capacities of 290 to 1140 kips for seismic retrofitting of the bridge substructure.

Completed in 1956, the 5.5 mile long bridge sits between two fault lines in the San Francisco Bay.
The bridge connects the cities of Richmond and San Rafael as part of Interstate 580. Richmond/San Rafael Bridge Photograph courtesy of California Department Transportation

Geological Description The Franciscan Formation is a heterogeneous unit of sedimentary and volcanic rock deposited in an offshore, deep-marine trough at the base of the continental slope. The formation consists of massive graywacke sandstone, dark shale, minor chert and limestone, altered volcanic rock, and various metamorphic rocks. All of the rock is intruded by serpentine. The Franciscan Formation is believed to be as thick as 50,000 feet and typically found as fault-bound blocks accreted onto the western shoreline of California by plate movement .
