It so <br /> happened that one of the first test pits (excavations}was in one of the weakest soil areas on site. <br /> Based on this wet silty material an elaborate system of rock, fabric and compacted sand as <br /> proposed for the footing system. This concep#was set aside when more extensive excavating and <br /> surveying r�vealed sounder soil at the actual footing depths and a water table that would be vary <br /> from 4'be/vw the foofing fop to 1'above the foofing elevation. <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. Two #5 nsbar in bottom 3" of concrete footing. <br /> 4. Load bea�ng walls aie only on the perimeter, a stnrctural floor will be instaNed. <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 /> are�as will be conditioned fio the status of the other 98� of the project before proceeding. <br /> (4) This excavation and foundation seils system is quibe suitable for constru�tion of the <br /> proposed structure.
