SHI Builders West Orange NJ Prelim GI SWM Report 1

6.0 GENERAL COMMENTS AND LIMITATIONS Supplemental recommendations will be required upon finalization of conceptual site plans or if significant changes are made in the characteristics or location of the proposed structures. Dynamic Earth should be included as a consultant to the design team and should be provided final plans for review to confirm these criteria apply or to modify recommendations as necessary. The recommendations presented herein should be utilized by a qualified engineer in preparing preliminary design concepts and site grading. The engineer should consider these recommendations as minimum physical standards that may be superseded by local and regional building codes and structural considerations. These recommendations are prepared for the use of the client for the specific project detailed and should not be used by any third party. These recommendations are relevant to the preliminary design phase and should not be substituted for construction specifications. The possibility exists that conditions between test locations may differ from those at specific test pit locations, and conditions may not be as anticipated by the designers or contractors. In addition, the construction process may itself alter soil conditions. Therefore, Dynamic Earth Geotechnical Engineers or their representatives should observe and document the final construction procedures used and the conditions encountered, as well as conduct testing and inspection to ensure the design criteria are met or recommendations to address deviations are implemented. Dynamic Earth assumes that a qualified contractor will be employed to perform the construction work, and that the contractor will be required to exercise care to ensure all excavations are performed in accordance with applicable regulations and good practice. Particular attention should be paid to avoiding damaging or undermining adjacent properties and maintaining slope stability. The exploration and analysis of the foundation conditions reported herein are presented to form a reasonable basis for preliminary site evaluation. The recommendations submitted for the proposed construction are based on the available soil information and the preliminary design details furnished or assumed. Deviations from the noted subsurface conditions encountered during construction should be brought to the attention of the

able soil information and the preliminary design details furnished or assumed. Deviations from the noted subsurface conditions encountered during construction should be brought to the attention of the geotechnical engineer. The geotechnical engineer warrants that the findings, recommendations, specifications, or professional advice contained herein have been promulgated after being prepared in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering practice in the fields of foundation engineering, soil mechanics, and engineering geology. No other warranties are implied or expressed. SHI Builders 19 4266-99-001E
