Re: Candy Cove Retaining Wall Review
WSB Project No. 01905-040
Dear Mr. Hutchins:
We have completed our reviews of the Retaining Wall Project. The project began with general
excavation and construction of wall #4 on November 2, 2012 and finished with the completion of
the add-on southwestern wall on August 10, 2013. Each of the seven original walls and the
additional wall received multiple site visits from WSB Inc. Site visit observations included but
were not limited to block reviews, drainage rock measurements, geogrid examinations and
geogrid measurements. Per information provided by Braun Intertec and Civil Design
Professionals, the retaining walls met or exceeded the structural requirements of the
specifications.
Braun Intertec also visited the site and observed the walls. Braun Intertec provided WSB
information on soils borings and soils requirements. A final soils report was not provided, and
should be requested through the contractor for verification that the retaining walls meet or
exceed the required soils specifications.
Please find attached a hard copy of the report and a CDs which include all of the project
observations, designs, specifications, reports, construction photos, and Braun Intertec submittals.
I have also included in a separate CD for the additional southwestern wall added in June 2013. If
you have any questions regarding this letter please call me at 763.231.4844.
Sincerely,
WSB & Associates, Inc.
