September 17: Soil Inspection


Pad 1 site excavation ended today with a soil inspection. The inspector examined samples from six random bores within the foundation area to verify soil types.

The inspection is required by the city for proper documentation and is an integral part in any new construction project. Soils vary in type, composition and strength, and the differences can be significant. Some soils are very strong and can support significant weight, while other soils are weak and compress under light loads.
