Site grades <br /> H � should be planned to slope away from the building in order to minimize the potential for <br /> � N � ponding in, or adjacent to, the build�ng area. <br /> N <br /> � o N We recommend that all buildings be provided with a perimeter foun da tion drain sys tem <br /> g � r to collect any groundwater seepage water. This drain should consist of a perforated <br /> a � � pipe within an envelope of pea gravel or washed rock, extending outward at least 6 <br /> inches on ali sides of the pipe. The drain should encircle the exterior of all foundation <br /> walls approximately at the base elevation of the footings. The perimeter drainage system <br /> should discharge by tightline to a storm sewer or other suitable discharge point, ideally <br /> by graviry. Roof- and surface-runoff water should not discharge into the foundation drain <br /> . system; instead, a separate tightline drain system or splash blocks should be installed. <br /> CLOSURE <br /> �� --.,\ The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are bas�d on the <br /> I, ��' explorations accomplished for this study and on our understanding of the proposed <br /> � projecL The number, location, and depth of our explorations were completed within the <br /> �� site, schedule, budyet, and proposal constraints so as to yield adequate inf,�rrriation to <br /> ��� formulate our recommendations. The integrity and performance of the �oundations <br /> depends largely on proper site preparation and construction procedures. RZA is <br /> ���. available to provide geotechnical engineering services throughout the eartiiwork and <br /> I ��� construction phases of the project. If variations in the subsurface conditions are <br /> observed at that time, R7J� would be able to provide additional geotechnical <br /> 1���� recommendations to minimize delays as the project deve�ops. <br /> ' � 1 1 <br /> �, '_1_' <br /> --- ' <br />
