Gentlemen:
On October 21, 2002, 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 176, Registry Ridge 1st, (1250 Dewey 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 MNA, Inc., Project
No.:9821.
The pier drilling operations encountered silty claystone bedrock with sandstone lenses at depths
of three and one half (3.5) feet to five (5) feet below the base of various excavation levels. The
piers were drilled a total minimum length of eighteen (18) feet with a minimum bedrock
embedment of eight (8) feet, whichever was greater. Groundwater levels were not encountered
in the borings. 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 construction of those piers observed
were in general conformance with the plans and specifications. If you have any questions about
our observations or this report, feel free to contact our office.
Sincerely,
SCOTT, COX & ASSOCIATES, INC.
