As requested, a GROUND Engineering Consultants representative was present to perform
materials testing. We observed reinforcing steel and post tension tendons for Level 4, Pour 4
placed by J.D. Steel. We observed the reinforcing steel for bar size, spacing, clearances, and
lap splices. We observed the post tension tendons for quantity, profile heights, back up bars,
bursting steel, and the overall condition of the tendons. We observed missing top and bottom
mat bars, back up bars, bursting steel, and trim bars at various locations throughout the deck as
well as several post tension tendon profiles that did not comply with the site specifications. We
immediately informed Pedro with J.D. Steel and Andy with PCL of our observations. We will re-
observe the reinforcing steel and post tension tendons prior to the concrete placement.
In addition, we observed J.D. steel stressing post tension tendons at various locations on Level
1. We observed gauge pressure, measured elongations, and observed J.D. Steel perform lift
offs. See our pt elongation report for details.
We observed reinforcing steel placed by J.D. Steel for the footers at gridlines C — 24. We
observed the reinforcing steel for bar size, quantity, spacing, clearance, and lap splice. The
reinforcing steel appeared to be placed in general accordance with the project plans and
specifications.
