j '� = INSTANT TESTING C�MPANY <br /> � C07125 126`h Avenue • Savage, Minnesota 55378 <br /> Telephone: 952-890-7366 Fax;952 890-5883 <br /> Field Inspection Report <br /> Cfient Name: John Jones 8� Charlotte <br /> Family Residence @ Date of Inspections: October 1, 2003 <br /> Site Location: 3480 North Shore Drive Time: 9:0o AM 8�3:00 PM <br /> Orono, Minnesota <br /> Field Observations : <br /> (1) At the above address in Orono our site soil inspections and evaluations of the foundation soils <br /> began in August developing a design that would be acceptable considering th� high water table, <br /> the sand mixed with some silty soils and the need for stabilizing rock near the water surFace. It so <br /> happened that one of the first test pits (excavations) was in one of the weakest soil areas on site. <br /> �ased on this wet silty material an elaborate system of rock, fabric and compacted sand as <br /> proposed for the footing system. This concept was set aside when more extensive excavating and <br /> surveying revealed sounder soil at the actual foofing depths and a water table that would be <br /> 3' to 4' below the footing. <br /> (2) The key elements of the foundation system selected and installed were: <br /> 1. Stabilizing the base with 1 1/2" rock {12"to 24" deep). <br /> 2. Covering rock with sand compacted to grade. <br /> 3. Three#4 rebar in bottom 3" of concrete footing. <br /> (3) Two final inspections were conducted on October 1, 2003. In the aftemoon we were joined by <br /> Bruce from the Inspections Office in Orono_ On a joint trip around the site, one area about 4' in <br /> footing length and one foot wide was discovered to have no rock on the inside half of the footing <br /> forms. On the inside some organic clays and silty soils were uncovered by stabilizing rock_ These <br /> areas wili be conditioned to the status of the other 98% of the project before proceeding. <br /> (3) This excavation and foundafion soils system is quite suitable for construction of the <br /> proposed structure.
