Everett Washington This report presents the results of our soils investigation for the proposed &-jcwA_-bcL Facility at the site of Everett Pipe and Steel Company's plant in Everett, Washington. The building is located close to the inter- section of 33rd Street and Hill Avenue in Everett, Wash �}gto�`aT)le new construction will consist of a steel frame mill building 9' x �8' in plan dimension with a 200' continuation of the crane rail structure extending to the north. The sub -surface conditions at this site were explored by means of two test pits excavated in tlue positions shown on the attached plot plan. These test pits revealed that the level yard area, which will contain the pro- posed building, is underlain by one to two feet of a slag type fill containing sand and gravel. This is in turn underlain by a stiff clay deposit which extends to at least S feet below the ground surface. No ground water was encountered In the test pits excavated at this site. The general character of the sub -surface conditions around the site area was assessed by conversations with the plant personnel regarding building performance, personal observation of the performance of floor slabs and footing -supported structures and a visit to a nearby construction site to view the sub -surface materials and foundation type used there. All the factors investigated indicate that the site is underlayed by a competent foundation soil of uniform extent, which will provide adequate bearing for shallow foundations.,,.. 1 •'I,I aI•.II A hI AV Nnl 11 I I••.I A l 111 WAO IIN.f 11 Ih .
