Limitations: The presence of our field representative at the site is to provide our client with a source of professional advice, opinions, and recommendations based upon the field representative’s observations and testing of the contractor’s work. Our services do not include supervision or direction of the contractor, their employees, or agents. Geotechnical recommendations for obtaining project objectives may be made by our representatives; however, direction of the actual work should come from the owner or contractor, as appropriate. The contractor is responsible for complying with the contract documents at all times, regardless of the presence of our field representative. Jobsite safety, including compliance with all applicable state or federal regulations, is the sole responsibility of the contractor. The observations, recommendations, and conclusions provided in this field report are preliminary until reviewed by the ESNW project manager.
Per client request, ESNW rep arrived onsite at the Weatherly Inn development to observe and document wall subgrade excavation and slope conditions. While onsite the following was observed:
Cast-In-Place Wall Excavation Observations: Upon arrival ESNW rep observed that the contractor was onsite and continuing wall excavation. ESNW rep was informed that in order to reduce overall slope height to the planned bottom of wall, the contractor would be removing previous footing wall backfill from the structure, in addition to later removing the eco block wall. ESNW rep observed the contractor remove old footing wall fill and progressively place temporary support of the water utility pipes, and upon onsite discussion with ESNW PM (SSR), it was determined that the dense weathered brown tills the contractor had encountered approximately 4-5’ below existing grade would be suitable for near vertical temporary cut slopes. Upon return onsite at the end of the day, ESNW rep observed the contractor had continued to progressively remove fill and shore water utilities. The contractor informed ESNW rep that excavation would be ongoing.
Eco-Block Wall Stability Observations: ESNW rep further observed that the 6-block high eco block wall within the excavation remained stable and unchanging in its current configuration.
The wall was observed to be stable and unchanging in its current temporary configuration, however it is the responsibility of the contractor to perform all necessary safety measures in accordance with state and federal regulations. It is recommended that the contractor inform ESNW if any changes in the slope conditions occur.
Please refer to the attached plan detail and photo documentation provided below. ESNW rep will return per request of the
client.
