Environmental Engineering Construction Testing and Inspection Field Report NO.: 09622652DFR12142022EC DATE: 12/14/2022 Set Count: CONTRACTOR: PROJECT #: 09622652 PERMIT #: PROJECT: North Wall Retrofit INSPECTOR: Eddie Canfield LOCATION: 2110 Hewitt Ave, Everett JURISDICTION: City of Everett KA P.M.: Jeff Mercer WEATHER: Cloudy TEMP: 40 A Krazan representative visited the project site today to observe the installation of epoxied dowels. Upon arrival on site, we met with the contractor and discussed installation details. Today, no items were epoxied. The contractor had drilled holes at 16" on center vertically and 24" on center horizontally for the #4 dowels that will connect the existing wall to the new wall (plans call for 16" on center; Engineer [Jasper] stated on the phone that 24" horizontal spacing was acceptable). However, the contractor had #3 dowels on site rather than #4 dowels and was unable to obtain new bars for our visit on site. The contractor was going to install the vertical wall dowels with a 3" embed into the existing slab. The plans show that the contractor should sawcut the slab out in 48" segments and install a new footing in order to maintain wall stability. The engineer stated on the phone that they do need to sawcut the slab and install the new footing per plan. The section of wall that they are to install new footing for is approximately 26' in length. There are a number of holes drilled into the existing wall that had been abandoned and wont be used for installation. It is recommended that the contractor fills these holes with epoxy prior to placement of concrete. The contractor stated that they had installed the footings at the ends of the wall per plan, however, the `footings' were at the same elevation of the slab. The plan shows that the top of footing is approximately 8" above the top of the slab. It is possible that the footings were not placed per plan. Upon our departure from site, we discussed our phone call to the engineer with the contractor on site. The contractor stated that they would likely have the engineer out on site to discuss plan details.
