FIELD INSPECTION REPORT
Ala \O AfS — o - v 3e 7
PROJECT: Hawk Meadows Lots 10
ADDRESS: $W 114th Avenue = SW Gaar• a t. - Tigard, Oregon •
INSPECTOR: r •larr D. Leach, E.I
At the request of Alai DeHarpport, CTI engineering associate, Brian Leach, visited the above
referenced lots at 3:00 PM on November 30, 1998. The purpose of his visit was to inspect subgrade
soil conditions and drainage problems impacting the lots.
The subgrade soils on kt 5 and 11 were observed and hand probed by CTI. The excavations have
extended down approximately 3 feet through the preexisting uncompacted fill on the surface of the
lots. The subgrade soils consisted of a medium stiff, brown and grey, clayey silt. The upper 6 inches
of the subgrade has b$come water - softened due to the amount of rainfall in the past week. These
softer soils should be "mucked" out immediately prior to pouring. The observed subgrade for Lots 5
and 11 are considered ¢uitable for a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 PSF.
The subgrade soils on T 10 were also reviewed by CTI. From our observations, the excavation has
extended down beyond the overlying, soft fill. During excavation, some moderate to large springs
were encountered. Th 4 flow rate of the groundwaterwas estimated to be approximately 15 gal/min.
CTI recommends constructing a gravel drainage blanket beneath the proposed foundation. The
drainage blanket should consist of a minimum of 12 inches of clean crushed drain rock (2 " -3/4 ")
capped with 12 inches 'of a clean crushed aggregate (3/4 " -0). The 3/4" -0 should be compacted to a
minimum of 90% of the modified Proctor as determined by AASHTO T -180. CTI should conduct the
density test to determine if the required compaction has been achieved. A perimeter footing drain is
recommended for Lot 10. The drain should consist of a 6 -inch perforated or slotted pipe wrapped
with fabric and covered with drain rock.
This report is based solely on a visual inspection of the ground surface. No evaluation of subsurface
conditions was performed. Information contained herein is not to be reproduced, except in full,
