1 Concrete Leveling Contractors in Ventnor City, New Jersey

Ventnor City is a city in southeastern Atlantic County, southern New Jersey, sitting on Absecon Island along Atlantic Avenue, Ventnor Avenue, and the Boardwalk in the Jersey-Shore-barrier-island-and-Atlantic-Ocean country of southeastern Atlantic County. Ventnor City sits on 8.1-mile-long Absecon Island, along with Atlantic City to the northeast, Margate City and Longport on the southwest (the documented Absecon-Island-8.1-mile-Jersey-Shore-barrier-island setting). Ventnor City was incorporated on March 17, 1903, with the city deriving its name from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, England, reflecting the early promoters' vision of a healthful coastal retreat; in the latter part of the 19th century, an American couple visiting England became so impressed with the beauty of the locality that in 1889, when the Camden and Atlantic Land Company decided to name the section of the land south of Atlantic City, they remembered Ventnor, England, and Mrs. S. Bartram Richards, wife of the secretary-treasurer of the land company, suggested on January 8, 1889 that the name Ventnor would be an ideal fit for this exciting new area (the documented 1903-onward Ventnor-City-era and 1889 Mrs-S-Bartram-Richards-Isle-of-Wight-namesake legacy). Geologically, Absecon Island formed as part of New Jersey's chain of barrier islands during the post-glacial sea level rise in the Holocene epoch, with its sands derived from reworking on the continental shelf and transported by littoral currents; the local topography features minimal relief, with an average elevation of 7 feet above sea level and a maximum elevation variation of 20 feet within a 2-mile radius, and this flat sandy landscape results from geological processes involving sediment deposition by ocean currents and winds, rendering the area highly susceptible to wave action and tidal influences (the documented Holocene-post-glacial-sea-level-rise-Absecon-Island-barrier-island-formation-and-7-foot-elevation-and-wave-and-tidal-influence legacy). Today Ventnor City (population 9,210 at the 2020 census, a 13.5 percent decrease from 2010) is a southeastern-Atlantic-County Absecon-Island-barrier-island-and-Jersey-Shore-and-Atlantic-Ocean city with significant documented Absecon-Island-8.1-mile-Jersey-Shore-barrier-island setting, 1903-onward Ventnor-City-era and 1889 Mrs-S-Bartram-Richards-Isle-of-Wight-namesake legacy, Holocene-post-glacial-sea-level-rise-Absecon-Island-barrier-island-formation-and-7-foot-elevation legacy, Ventnor Boardwalk character, Atlantic Avenue commercial-corridor character, and dense early-twentieth-century-through-twentieth-century Jersey-Shore-beach-resort-and-second-home residential character. Ventnor City sits on the Absecon-Island-barrier-island terrain of southern New Jersey, directly on the Atlantic Ocean, with the back-bay side on Beach Thorofare and Absecon Bay. Bedrock beneath Ventnor City is deeply buried Outer Coastal Plain Cohansey Sand and older Coastal Plain formations; at the surface and to substantial depth the mantle is Holocene barrier-island sand. Above this buried bedrock, surficial materials include Holocene Atlantic-Ocean-beach-and-barrier-island-dune sand (with documented post-glacial-sea-level-rise littoral-current-reworked siliceous sand), Holocene back-bay tidal-salt-marsh organic peat-and-muck on the Beach Thorofare and Absecon Bay back-bay flats (with documented acid-sulfate hazard), Holocene lagoonal silt-and-clay on the back-bay shallow-subtidal parcels, historic Absecon-Island-lagoonal-dredge-and-fill on the extensive back-bay filled parcels (with ongoing settlement and acid-sulfate hazard), and historic Jersey-Shore-beach-resort-and-boardwalk-fill on the densely-developed parcels. Local soils run Atsion sandy loam on the moist barrier-island sandy-dune parcels (with documented wetness and ortstein-hardpan hazard), Udipsamments on the beach-and-dune sand parcels, Sulfaquent and Sulfihemist very-poorly-drained tidal-marsh soils on the back-bay tidal-salt-marsh parcels (with documented acid-sulfate hazard and very poor slab-bearing conditions), Udorthents on the cut-and-filled dense-urban parcels, and historic Absecon-Island-lagoonal-dredge-and-fill on the extensive back-bay filled parcels. That Absecon-Island-barrier-island-and-Holocene-dune-and-back-bay-tidal-marsh mantle with Atsion-Udipsamments-Sulfaquent-Sulfihemist-Udorthents barrier-island-and-lagoonal-dredge-and-fill-derived subgrades, Sulfaquent-and-Sulfihemist back-bay tidal-salt-marsh parcels with documented acid-sulfate hazard and very poor slab-bearing conditions, historic Absecon-Island-lagoonal-dredge-and-fill parcels with ongoing settlement and acid-sulfate hazard, the historic 1903-onward Ventnor-City-era and 1889 Mrs-S-Bartram-Richards-Isle-of-Wight-namesake foundations, dense early-twentieth-century-through-twentieth-century Jersey-Shore-beach-resort-and-second-home foundations, Atlantic Ocean and Beach Thorofare and Absecon Bay tidal stage cycling on the bottomland parcels, post-glacial-sea-level-rise barrier-island wave-and-tidal influence, and steady Atlantic Avenue, Ventnor Avenue, and Ventnor Boardwalk corridor cut-and-fill on the recent corridor parcels is the primary driver of slab movement here.
