Geotechnical Report - �.�ised <br />�' Proposed Apartments: 1002, 1006, and 1008 Broadway Street, Everett, Washington <br />May 12, 2015 <br />If the excavation cannot be accomplished using ecology block shoring, then consideration <br />should be given to using a shoring system consisting of cantilevered soldier piles with <br />timber lagging. <br />S.S BASELINE SURVEY AND MONITORING <br />Ground movements will occur as a result of excavation activities. As such, ground <br />surface elevations of the adjacent properties and city streets should be documented prior <br />to commencing earthwork to provide baseline data. As a minimurn, optical survey points <br />should be established at the following locations: <br />• The top of every other soldier pile. These monitoring points should be <br />monitored twice a week. The monitoring fi•equency may be reduced based on <br />the monitoring results. <br />• Adjacent structures such as residences, garages, or retaining walls located <br />within 25 feet of the planned shoring. <br />The monitoring program should include monitoring for changes in both the horizontal (x <br />and y directions) and vertical deformations. The monitoring should be performed by the <br />contractor or the project surveyor, and the results should be promptly submitted to <br />PanGEO for review. The results of the monitoring will allow the design team to confirm <br />design parameters, and for the contractor to make adjustments if necessary. <br />We also recominend that the existing conditions along the public right of way and the <br />adjacent private properties be photo-documented prior to commencing earthwork at the <br />site. <br />6.0 EARTHWORK CONSID�RATIONS <br />G.1 MATERiAL REUSE <br />The native soils underlying the site are moisture sensitive, and will become disturbed and <br />soft when exposed to inclement weather conditions. We do not recommend reusing the <br />native soils as structural fill. If it is planned to use the native soil in non-structural areas, <br />the excavated soil should be stockpiled and protected with plastic sheeting to prevent it <br />from becoming saturated by precipitation or runoff. <br />15-048 1008 Broadway, Revised Page 13 PanGEO, InC. <br />
