AMERICAN ENGINEERING TESTING, INC. AET Project No. 22-00012 <br /> on the west side of the site. Refer to our preliminary geotechnical report dated March 30, 2006 <br /> for preliminary recommendations related to the south building pad preparation. <br /> The new buildings on the west side of the site will be single-story, slab-on-grade structures <br /> covering footprints of about 40,000 square feet. The finished floor elevations of the north and <br /> south buildings are planned at elevations 1027.3 and 1027.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical <br /> Datum(NGVD). <br /> The buildings will likely have perimeter masonry or precast concrete bearing walls and an <br /> interior structural steel frame. Based on information provided by Anderson Urlacher, P.A., wall <br /> loads will likely be on the order of 3.5 to 4 kips per linear foot, with maximum column loads of <br /> about 95 kips. <br /> There are no specific tenants at this time, so the floor loadings are not yet known. However,there <br /> will be loading docks on the east side of both buildings, and there would probably be fork lift <br /> traffic in the buildings. Therefore, floor loads will likely be on the order of 250 to 500 pounds <br /> per square foot. <br /> Paved parking and drive lanes will be constructed around the buildings. We anticipate that the <br /> daily traffic pattern would consist of numerous passes of automobiles and light trucks (pickups <br /> and vans), along with numerous semi-tractor trailers (HS20 and HS25 loadings), and additional <br /> heavier vehicles such as waste collection trucks,delivery trucks, and snow plows (seasonal). <br /> 3.1 Available Geotechnical Information <br /> We have drilled borings on adjacent sites to the west, northeast, and north. The soil types in this <br /> area consist of soft to stiff silty clay and clayey silt soils with relatively shallow perched <br /> groundwater conditions. We have reviewed soil borings drilled by Nova Environmental Services, <br /> Inc. in 1990 for a contamination investigation on the north side of the existing structure on the <br /> eastern half of the site. These borings also showed soft to stiff clayey silt on this site. <br /> Page 3 of 28 <br />
