RE: Foundation Inspection for Barn at 4264 County Road 117
Dear Mr. Groth,
I have performed a site visit and inspected the foundation for the above
referenced barn on October 25th, 2011. I completed an inspection of the visible
portions of the foundation and have concluded that the foundation was
constructed in a manner that is consistent with generally accepted construction
methods. In discussing the foundation construction with Mr. Groth, he stated
that he complied with the minimum requirements for reinforcing steel in the
concrete and he used a concrete mix that exceeds the minimum requirements for
single family residential foundations in Garfield County, Colorado. I did not
perform testing of the foundation (destructive or non-destructive) as the
foundation has not shown any flaws or defects from installation in 2009.
In conclusion, based on the above facts, it is my professional opinion that the
foundation meets the minimum building code requirements for single family
residential construction (a higher standard than barns) for Garfield County,
Colorado.
If you have any additional questions or comments please do not hesitate to call
me at the above number.
