Gentlemen:
On October 17, 2003, 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 174, Registry Ridge 3rd, (1514 Sea Wolf Court), 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 Cobb Associates,
Project No.:8174.
The pier drilling operations encountered silty sandstone bedrock at depths of five (5) feet to ten
(10) feet below the base of various excavation levels. The piers were drilled a total minimum
length of twenty one (21) or twenty five (25) feet with a minimum bedrock embedment of eleven
(11) feet, whichever was greater. Groundwater levels were encountered in the borings at depths
of eighteen (18) feet to twenty (20) 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 construction off 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.
