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, PE. WILLIAM E. 8LOEMENDAL, PE. <br /> GREGORY R. REUTER. P E CHARLES M. ALLGOOD, P.E. MERVYN MINDESS.
