SUMMARY of OBSERVATIONS: LOT 256: Previously, GeoDesign noted that the east side of Lot 256 required 2.0 to 2.5 feet of over-excavation to expose firm and unyielding material which could be probed less than 2 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe. Today, GeoDesign noted that BDZ had backfilled the over-excavated area with a cement-treated gray-brow silty SAND (f-m)with gravel (f-c)which was previously above its optimum moisture content. GeoDesign noted that the cement dust was added to stockpiles of material outside the foundation area and thoroughly mixed using the bucket of an excavator. GeoDesign noted that the material was mixed, placed, and spread in approximately 12 inch loose lifts using a Komatsu PC300 excavator and compacted into a firm and unyielding mass using a Hamm 3410 smooth-drum vibratory roller. Penetration depths encountered shortly after compaction were less than 2 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe. It is the opinion of GeoDesign that the foundation subgrade area observed today is currently suitable for support of the intended structure. GeoDesign recommends that any surficially loose and saturated material be removed from the base of the foundation area prior to the placement of concrete. LOT 255: Today, GeoDesign noted that BDZ had completed excavation of the footing and crawl space area for Lot 255 using a Komatsu PC300 excavator. GeoDesign noted that the west 3/4's of the exposed foundation subgrade consisted of a gray to gray-brown silty SAND with gravel and concrete/asphalt. Penetration depths encountered across the west side of the lot area were generally less than 1 inch. GeoDesign noted that that the east 1/4 of the lot area required approximately 2.5 feet of over-excavation to expose firm and unyielding ground which could be probed less than 2 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe. GeoDesign noted that BDZ backfilled the over-excavated area with a cement-treated gray-brown silty SAND with gravel. GeoDesign noted that the material was mixed, placed, and spread in 12 to 18 inch loose lifts using a Komatsu PC300 excavator and compacted into a firm and unyielding mass using a Hamm 3410 smooth-drum vibratory roller. Penetration depths encountered shortly after compaction were less than 2 inches using a 1/2 inch diameter soil probe. It is the opinion of GeoDesign that the foundation subgrade area observed today is currently suitable for support of the intended structure. GeoDesign recommends that any surficially loose and saturated material be removed from the base of the foundation area prior to the placement of concrete.
