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.
As requested by the client, 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: ESNW rep arrived onsite and observed that the contractor was continuing excavation of cast-in-place wall subgrade. Contractor relayed existing footing wall backfill and eco-block wall would be removed in order to reduce overall slope height. ESNW rep observed contractor excavating footing wall backfill, and temporarily supporting adjacent utility lines. ESNW rep observed the 6-block high eco block wall within the excavation remained stable, and native soil conditions were suitable for temporary vertical cut slope.
The wall was observed to be stable and unchanging in its current temporary vertical condition, however it is the responsibility of the contractor to perform all necessary safety measures in accordance with state and federal regulations. It is recommended the contractor contact ESNW for further observations if any changes in slope condition occur. ESNW rep will return as requested by client for further observations.
