Project: Proposed Residence, Lots 14A and 14B, Bighorn Fifth Addition, 4872 Meadow Lane, Vail,
Colorado
Construction Activities Observed: Excavating for lower level bench of Primary Residence.
Equipment in Use:
H-P/Kumar's Site Activities: Excavation for lower bench was cut in two levels from about 3' to 6'
below adjacent ground surface. Materials exposed in the bottom of
excavation consisted of natural silty clayey sand and gravel soils
which were moist. Two areas had received from 11' to 3' depth of
Class 2 aggregate base course placed in a compacted condition.
Dewatering drain was lowered into sump manhole since grade was
too high to gravity discharge. We recommended permanent
discharge into storm drain manhole.
