Gentlemen:
On Julv 25. 2000, a representative of Scott, Cox & Associates, Inc. conducted visual spot
observations of the drilling and installation of the ten (10) inch diameter piers for the new residence
under construction at Lot 8, Shenandoah, (7221 Egyptian Drive). a subdivision of Fort Collins,
Colorado. The purpose of these observations was to assure that the piers were drilled correctly for
the subsurface conditions encountered and to assure that the piers were constructed according to the
specifications on the foundation plan by KLP, Plan No.:4029.
The pier drilling operations encountered clayey sandstone bedrock at depths of two (2) feet to ten
(10) feet below the base of various excavation levels. The piers were drilled a total minimum length
of twenty seven (27) feet with a minimum bedrock embedment of seventeen (17) feet, whichever
was greater. Groundwater levels were encountered in the borings at depths of twenty two (22) feet
to thirty (30) feet below the excavation. Casing of the borings was not required. Concrete was being
placed with a concrete pumper. Reinforcing steel was being installed in each pier.
As a result of our observations, it is our opinion that the pier lengths and embedment of those piers
observed were in general conformance with the plans and specifications. However, the reinforcing
steel was not caged for the foundation plan. The contractor was informed of this requirement, and
failed to comply to the specifications. If you have any questions about our observations or this
report, feel free to contact our office.
Sincerely.
