Project No. 18-3229
Dear Abel,
At your request today, }l4ay 29,2018, we visited the construction site for your proposed
residence on Lot 32, Sun Meadow Estates, on South Meadow Drive Garfield Counfy, Silt,
Colorado. The purpose of our site visit was to observe the soils exposed in the foundation
excavations for proposed residence and compare them with the findings and recommendations of
the Soils and Foundation Investigation, under the same project number, dated January 15, 2018.
The foundation excavation consisted of perimeter trenches for the garuge and a bench for
the basement of the main house. The excavation cuts ranged from about 4 feet in the garage area
to about 8 feet in the basement area. The soil exposed in the bottom of the foundation excavation
consisted of light brown, silty-sandy clay and sandy silt. The bottom of the excavation will be
slightly wetted and compacted prior to the concrete placement. The soil exposed in the
.foundation excavation is suitablefor the designed maximum allowable soil bearing pressure of
1000 psf Soft spots were not reported.
We recommend compliance with the recommendations of the above-named soils report
during the remainder of the construction, specifically with the sections on drainage, grading and
irrigation.
This report has been prepared according to locally accepted Professional Geotechnical
Engineering standards for similar methods of testing and soil conditions at this time. The
findings and recommendation stated above are based on the soil conditions observed and tested
in the foundation excavation only. There is no other waruanty either expressed or implied.
Ifyou have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
LKP Engineering,Inc.
