Looks good with some revisions.  

Need to even up the edges so are closer to being equal and not so irregular (it was highly so) and change method of attachment.  They drilled through the top of the limestone cap into
the wall, drove rods into the wall and then filled the drill holes.  The consensus from Clay and UDR was to drill the wall, epoxy rods into the wall, drill the cap, and then epoxy the
cap onto the rods as well as placing mortar between the wall and cap.  The cap overhangs the wall by about 6” and I expressed a concern about the pressure that will be put on the cap
when people stand on the edge of the cap and causing it to loosen up.  Eric said probably be best to epoxy the cap to wall as well.

Vitruvian Team,

 

There is a section of the Lake Edge Wall with the limestone cap that has been completed at Vitruvian Park.  The contractor is seeking approval prior to proceeding with the installation
for the rest of the work.  I have commented to them that they cannot drill holes in the top of the rock.  Otherwise, I believe it looks great.  Please let me know if you are interested
in seeing it.

 

Thanks,

Clay Barnett, P.E.
