U . <br /> RE: Excavation base soil observations/test pit <br /> observations for the Service 800 building at 2190 <br /> Wayzata Boulevard in Orono, Minnesota <br /> GME PROJECT NO. : 8216 <br /> TIME: 7 :30 am <br /> WEATHER: Cloudy, 30° F <br /> PERSONNEL <br /> CONTACTED: Mr. Steve Weibel, site superintendent - KM Building Company <br /> Don Zappa and Sons Excavating <br /> As requested by Mr. Weibel, I visited the site today to observe excavation <br /> base soil, and observe test holes excavated around the perimeter of the <br /> building. The contractor has stripped off anywhere from 1-1/2 to 2 feet <br /> of topsoil over the building footprint . Today, the contractor is working <br /> on stripping topsoil from the northern parking area. Based on a paint <br /> mark located on a power pole west of the southwest corner of the building, <br /> the westerly half of the building is about at top-of-slab elevation <br /> (elevation 1014 . 8) with the eastern half of the building at approximately <br /> elevation 1012 feet . <br /> Based on planned documentation, original grades in this area ranged from <br /> elevation 1017 . 5 feet in the northwest corner, to 1014 feet along the east <br /> end of the building. The assumed soil bearing pressure for this project, <br /> on structural drawings, is 2, 000 psf . Fill placed below footing elevation <br /> is to be compacted to 100% of the Standard Proctor dry density, with fill <br /> placed above footing, below slab elevation to be compacted to 98% of the <br /> Standard Proctor dry density. <br /> Four test pits were excavated at the four corners of this building, to <br /> explore soil conditions . The information is outlined below. <br /> WILLIAM C. KWASNY, P.E. THOMAS P VENEMA, P.E. WILLIAM E. 8LOEMENDAL, RE. <br /> GREGORY R. REUTER, PE. CHARLES M. ALLGOOD, P.E.
