Project No. 3-70127-02
Date Observed: 12/6/00, by W. Meeks
Subject: Observation of Pier Drilling for Foundation Piers for a Residence Under
Construction at 1202 Forestel Drive, Lot 4, Registry Ridge Subdivision,
Filing 1, Fort Collins, Colorado.
References: 1) Subsurface Investigation by Soils and Materials Consultants, Inc.,
Project No. 1-2796-01.
2) Foundation Design for the Subject Site by KLP Consulting Engineers,
Inc., Job No. 98-174.02, Model 6029.
The pier drilling operations at the subject site were observed on the referenced
date. A minimum of 50 percent of the piers under construction for the foundation were
observed by a representative of our firm. The foundation piers observed were bottomed
in materials suitable to support design pressures recommended in the above referenced
documents. The soils exposed in the excavation and the type of foundation under
construction are consistent with recommendations presented in the above referenced
documents.
The foundation piers observed met the minimum penetration and shaft length
specifications of the referenced documents and were drilled and cleaned to our
satisfaction. No free water was encountered within two feet of the lowest level of the
excavation.
Deck piers were not observed during our field observation. If a deck is to be
constructed at a later date, we should be contacted to observe the drilling of the deck
piers.
Please call if further consultation or construction observation services are desired.
