Re: Noakes house - Prescott - Springfield
A \~sit was made to the site yesterday to ascertain conditions and pro\~de direction for
subgrade conditions. The follo\\~ng apply:
I. Lateral reinforcing bars need to be placed in the footings in accordance with the
engineering drawings
2. Dowels connecting the footing and future stemwall need to be installed in
accordance with the engineering drawings
3. The excavation should be clean and free from mud and deep standing water.
Some water is unavoidable, and it will be necessary to place concrete to avoid
mixing with the surface water.
4. A crushed rock subgrade layer is not necessary. Although this works to
increase the sliding coefficient between the base of the footing and clay-bearing
soils, there is a slab present, and opposing subgrade structures, to resist the
sliding forces.
5. There is some variation in the placement ofthe continuous horizontal
reinforcement. The existing conctitions are acceptable
If you have any questions, please feel free to calL
