Observations/Finding

AS Engineering and Consulting, LLC. has completed an engineering evaluation of the slab and perimeter footings at Suncity for Lots 81 pod 15, 57 pod 17, and 51 pod 15.

The footing was evaluated through visual inspection, hand probing, and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP)testing. During the evaluation, unconsolidated soils were encountered in the top six inches of test 81. The area measured was 4 feet long. The contractors on-site were notified to remove the soils. Well-compacted fill soils were encountered underlain by residual soils for Lots 81D, 51A, 51D, 57A, and 57D. These soils were found to be capable of supporting the building structure utilizing an allowable soil-bearing pressure of 2,500 psf.

Reinforcing steel for footings and slab was visually inspected and appeared to be in accordance with approved project specifications. During our evaluation it was noted the welded wire mesh was adequately overlapped, the vapor barrier was installed and taped as needed, rebar standees were used as needed to provide cover, and the rebar appeared to have adequate lap length for its size.

DCP tests are on the work drive, and photos are attached.
