WA 98072 <br />FIELD REPORT <br />Project: <br />Owner: <br />Location: <br />Weather: <br />Purpose of <br />Kvemmo Residence <br />Jon Kvernmo � <br />Everott <br />50's and Overcast <br />(42514R6-1669 FAX 48]-2510 Visit: N[onitor Pin Pile Installadon <br />File No.: 3561B02 <br />Date: 11/11/02 <br />Report No: 8 <br />Page: I of 3 <br />By: nn, ��a�cS <br />We visited the project site today at the request of Jon Kvemmo for the pu�pose of monitoring pin pile <br />installation. <br />We observed the contractor install three pin piles today. Two of the piles were battered at <br />approzimately 15 degrees and one was driven veRically. The approzimate pile locadons are shown on <br />the attached site plan. The pin pile depths, penetradon during the last 20 seconds of driving, and degee <br />of batter are shown on the attact�ed table. <br />The pi� piles were driven with a 1,100 ft;b hammer (Teledyne TB 425). 4inch diameter steel pipes <br />sections up to 21 feet long were used and coupled with slip couplers. The piles werc driven until a <br />refusal criteria of up to 1 inch of penetration d�uing 20 seconds of driving was attained. <br />We also evaluated foundation subgrade along Gridline7 (see site plan). We ezcavated one hand hole at <br />the northem end of this gridline and one hand hole at the southem end. We found that at the northern <br />end had about 3 to 4 feet of f Il on top of the native. The so�them end had about 1 foot of fill on top of <br />the native. Based on our observations, it is our recommendation, that the fill be removed and CDF be <br />placed at least a foot into the native, dense material. Since the native material is sloping down, wo <br />recommend cceating level benches in the native material beforo pourinf; ehe CDF. We should be <br />retained to observe the excavation p:ior to pouring CDF. <br />Based on our observations. it is our opinion ihat t6e three pin pila observed todaY 1�ave baen installed in <br />accordanx with our iecommeadationa, and ahould pmvide t6e planned !0 tons of supprnre. <br />Attachments: Site Plan, Table <br />Distribution: <br />Signed: <br />U <br />�s <br />
