( Geotechnical Engineaing Report ' GardenerGroupCondominiums I July l6, 1997 NCA File No.209297 Page t I f � I Drainage We recommend that roof drains, catch basins or other devices used to collect surface runoff, be directed I by tightline into the stortn drain or other suitable system. Surface drains should be maintained separately,and not be interconnected with foundation or wall dreins. IWe recommend that footing or wall drains be utiliud due to the potential for perched water conditions to develop in the till. Footing drains should be installed at least 6 inches below planned finished floor I elevation. Footing drains are constructed similar to wall drains described previously. � � Monitorfog We strongly rccommend that we be retained to monitor the drainage,earthwork end foundation phases of I development, including temporary cut slopes, building excavation, structural filling, retaining wall development,and dreinage conswction. As part of our services we would evaluate earthwork activities to detertnine if they comply with project plans, specifications and our recommendations, and to Idetermine if other methods and techniques are necessary. Foundation and structural fill soi!s intrnded for use within the site,should be epproved by the geotechnical wnsultent prior to use. I USE OF THIS REPORT I We have prepared this report for the Gardener Group and their agents for use in planning and design of this project. lhe data and report should be provided to prospective contractors for their bidding end estimating purposes,but our report conclusions and interpretations should not be construed as a wenanty ` of subgrade conditions. Final plans were not available at the time this report was prepared. We recommend that we be retained to review the final plans and specifications following their completion to ' determine if the recommendations presented in this report ere appropriate and if their intent has been followed. The scope of our work does not include services related to construction safety precautions, and our � recommendations are not intended to direct the contractors' methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, except as specifically described in our'eport for consideration in design. 'Rrorc are possible variations in subsurface conditions. We recommend that project planning include contingencies in Ibudget and schedule, should ereas be found with conditions that vary from those described in this report.
