A second letter from developper, 请版主和懂行的大侠们给评评,谢谢。
Dear Sir:
Further to our letter of September xxxxx , this letter provides additional information on the soil conditions within the area of xxxxx in the Findlay Creek Village
development, inasmuch as those conditions relate to the support of proposed new houses. Specifically, this letter addresses questions raised by the potential .....
In summary, the purchaser has requested:
1. Information on the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) 'N' values for the soil, the thickness of each of the layers, the distance between boreholes, and information on the
properties of the soils.
2. Clarification on whether the site has ever been disturbed or filled.
Lot xxxx of xxxx Circle is located within the southwest part of the street. The geo tech invetigation for the Findlay Creek Village development has been carried out in several
stages and , as the development progresses, yet more investigation will be carried out. However, to addres the present questions from the potential purchaser, reference is
made to an earlier borehole, numbered 94-2, which was drilled in February of 1994 as part of the overall planning of this development.
That borehole is located essentially on the property line between lots xx and xx, and therefore describes the specific conditons at Lotxx with some confidence. A copy of the Record of Borehole sheet for borehole 94-2 is attached to this letter.
The borehole indicates subsurface conditons consisting of approximately 0.3 metres of topsoil, 1.8 metres of silty sand, and 2.7 metres of glacial till, overlying bedrock at about 5 metres depth.
The standard penetration test (SPT) 'N' values recorded in that borehole for the silty sand are 1 and 4, respecively. The deposit is considered to be acceptable to support anballowable bearing pressure of at least 75 kilopacals, or more. The Ontario Building Code requires only this minimum allowable bearing pressure of 75 kilopascales for a house to be constructed with conventional footing widths, and it is therefore on this basis that most houses are designed.
As indicated on the attached record of borehole sheet, there was no disturbed soil or man-made 'fill' at this location at the time of the boring; however, as is common practice for
residential developments, site grading consistent with standard construction practice will assist with the civil design of the project.
We trust that htis letter provides sufficient information for your present requirements. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please don't hesitate to contact us.
