We have reviewed the Olden submittal dated May 17, 2010 and have the following recommendations:

 

1.  The submittal states that the design is based on Geotel Engineering, Inc.'s report no. E08-130 dated March 6, 2008.  A subsequent report E10-129 dated April 22, 2010 should be reviewed
by Olden to verify their design is still valid.

 

2.  Test results from the load testing described in the submittal should be observed and reviewed on behalf of the Town of Addison by a qualified Geotechnical Engineer registered in
the State of Texas.

 

3.  No wall drainage is shown in the submittal.  Olden should confirm that hydrostatic pressures were used in design, or adequate drainage should be provided to prevent hydrostatic pressure
from building up behind the wall.

 

We assume that the CM team will evaluate the geometry of the walls relative to the project plans.

 

As long as Olden has checked item 1 above, nail installation can proceed up to but not including shotcrete.  The other two items need to be addressed prior to shotcreteing. 

 

Regards,

Noel

Gentleman,

 

I have spoken with Mr. Clay Barnett with The town of Addison about helping review the construction submittals from Craig Olden Construction.  Mr. Barnett said he would be ok with Kleinfelder
helping with this task.  The submittals are loaded on the projectmates site for the project.  Noel if you need help locating them please give me call and I will walk you thru it.  Olden
plans to begin work onsite next Monday June 28, 2010.  

 

 

Thanks
