Member-Firm develops geotechnical engineering study with recommendations and performs limited COMET services for a tennis court to be built 14 feet below the surface and covered by parking deck. Since the constructor did not read the geotechnical report, a 100-footwide landslide occurred taking out the bottom of the unreinforced concrete retaining wall, then rolling into the excavation and demolishing the completed work. That led to a new retaining wall and litigation.
