The following summarizes our observations during the <br />site visits. <br />Pin Pile Installation <br />A PanGEO representative was on -site on a full-time basis to observe the installation of pin piles to underpin <br />the portion of the foundation of the existing residence which could potentially be affected by the proposed <br />remedial excavation. A total of 13, 2-inch pin piles were installed. The pin pile layout and numbering scheme <br />can be seen in the modified Foundation/Pile Layout Plan at the end of this report. Pile depths and dates <br />installed can be seen in the pin pile installation log at the end of this report. <br />The installed piles consisted of galvanized 2-inch diameter, schedule 80 pipe delivered to the site in 5-foot <br />3-inch sections and spliced with steel compression couplers. Pile depths are rounded to the nearest 1/2 foot <br />from cutoff. <br />PanGEO observed the pile contractor (Pile King) drive each pile with a 140-pound pneumatic hammer. Each <br />of the piles were driven to a refusal criteria of less than 1 inch of penetration during 60 seconds of continuous <br />driving for at least 3 consecutive inches. <br />Based on our observations, in our opinion the piles were driven in accordance with the plans and should <br />provide the allowable axial capacity of 3 tons per pile. <br />All pin piles were driven on October 5th <br />Observe and Monitor Excavation <br />During our site visit on 10/9, we observed the contractor make slot cuts between the installed pin piles to <br />remove contaminated soils in the front yard (see Photo 2). The slot cuts we observed were generally 3 feet <br />wide, 13 to 14 feet deep, 6 feet long at the bottom, and 10 feet long on the top. Slot cuts were backfilled with <br />22-389 4849 Spire Lane - FROI 2023.10.05_09.docx Page 1 PanGEO, Inc. <br />
