Observations/Finding

As requested, an ASEC technician was present at the above-referenced site to conduct a slab-on-grade and perimeter slab footing inspection for Lots #86, 87, Pod 17, and Lot #84, Pod 15.

Slab reinforcement appeared to consist of #4 rebar rested on three 3″ rod chairs spaced at approximately six 6″ inches on center. The bottom of the slab was covered with continuous poly vapor barrier lapping with wire mesh placed one 1″ from the bottom of the slab. Slab reinforcement preparations appeared to be in accordance with project specifications for size, spacing and quantity. The footing evaluation was performed by visual inspection, hand probing, and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing.

During the evaluation, well-compacted fill soils were encountered underlain by residual soils. These soils were found to be suitable utilizing an allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf. The footings depth and width have been prepared in accordance with IRC 2012 and the Georgia Amendments. Lot #86, 87, Pod 17, and Lot #84, Pod 15 was found to be ready for concrete placement.

The superintendent has been notified of these findings.
