The depths in this installation are fairly deep. The piers were driven to a depth of about 40 feet. This driving pressures attained will supply adequate bearing. The bearing capacity will be increased after installation by the push pier developing skin friction throughout the length. Normally this is not considered, as the typical driving depths are 16 to 20 feet. Since these piles range 35 feet to 40 feet, the skin friction developed after driving becomes quite large. Please consider this letter as acceptance of the installation and to satisfy your permitting requirements for structural observation. Please contact me if you need any additional information. Sincerely, • Dean P. Zarosinski PE r �� / 41 __... i
