Mongeau <br /> Subject: Final Letter Geotechnical Engineering Observations <br /> Propose Original Roadhouse Grill <br /> 11804 Highway 99 <br /> Everett, Washington <br /> Dear Mr. Mongeau: <br /> Geotech Consultants, Inc. provided geotechnical engineering observation and testing services dur- <br /> ing the mass earthwork, pipe pile installatlon, and dete�uun vault construction at 11804 Highway 99 <br /> in Everett. Our work began on July 24, 2006 and ended February 27,2007. <br /> During our inttial visits to the sfte, we abserved the sfipping and tested the compaction of the mass <br /> fill placed on the site. All tests indicated thet at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density(MDD) <br /> (by modifled proctor)wes obtained. <br /> We retumed to the site to observe the installation of 4inch galvanized steel pipe piles for the <br /> Phase 1 restaurant building and 6-inch galvan'ized steel pipe piles for the Phase 2 retail building. <br /> 150 plles were installed for Phase 1 to depths ranging from appro�amateiy 30 to 45. Four load tests <br /> to 200 percent of the allowable load of 10 tons per pile we:s successfully conducted on production <br /> piles. Total deflecdons of one tenth to three tenths of an inch were encountered in the load iests. <br /> 145— 6-inch piles were installed for Phase 2 to depths of about 20 to 30 feet below grade. Two- <br /> hundred percent load tests were successfully conducted on two of the production plles. These <br /> tests indicated less than two tenths of one inch of pile deflection at 200 percent of the 15 ton de- <br /> sign load. All of the <br /> During our further visits to the site, we observed the excavation for the storm water vauit on the <br /> eastem end of the site. The base of the vauft was overexcavated through the old fill and peat soils <br /> to expose s8if silis that are acceptable for the desi�n bearing pressure. The overexcavation was <br /> backfilied to the proposed vaGlt base with quarry spalls. The vault wall backfill meterial consisted of <br /> onsite silty sands. Random density tests pertortned on the va�it backfill lifts as placed indicated <br /> compaction of at least 95 percent(MMD). <br /> 1Ne performed periodic density testing of the backfills in the storm water lines a� described in our <br /> attached field reports. All of these tests indicated compaction at or above recommended mini- <br /> mums. . <br /> To the besi of our knowledge, the v�ork which we observed, in accorJance with the scope of our <br /> services, w�s generelly pertormed in conformance with our recommendations, our understanding <br /> of the approved plans. We had no verbal or written communica6on with the 5tructural Engineer of <br /> Record during our involvement in the construction process. <br /> GFOTECH CANSULTANTC.INQ � <br />
