RE: Boulder Retaining Wall Evaluation
2325 Glendale Cove Lane
Orono,Minnesota
Project No. 14-1413
Dear Mr.Madson:
This letter is being sent per your request for an evaluation of the boulder retaining wall construction at the
2325 Glendale Cove Lane project in Orono,Minnesota. This evaluation is based on verbal information
and project photos provided on September 15, 2014(see attached photos).
The construction of the retaining walls appears to be structurally stable and in general conformance with
boulder retaining wall and construction industry standards. The walls were constructed with boulders of
sufficient size and setback. Other typical construction details such as use of drainage elements and filter
fabric also appeared to be followed conectly. As is normal for boulder retaining walls of this type,some
wall movement and soil settlement should be expected.
I recommend that gutters and downspouts be installed and maintained on the house in order to direct the
roof runoff away from the retaining wall. Concentrated areas of surface water should also be directed
away from the walls.
This evaluation was performed using the design guidelines presented in the third edition of the"Design
Manual for Segmental Retaining Walls"(DMSRW)published by NCMA in 2009. If soil conditions,
proposed layouts,or other design parameters vary from that assumed a revised analysis might be needed.
Please call me if you have any questions or need more information. Thank you.
Sincerely,
��
