(SGT) is pleased to submit the Remediation Activities Summary <br /> Report for monitoring the underpinning pressure piers at the above referenced site. <br /> - Per your request to provide underpinning pier plan to augment the foundation, SGT <br /> monitored the underpinning plan. The underpinning transfers the house load to more <br /> stable deeper soil and prevents further foundation movement. <br /> The purpose of this report is to provide certification that SGT, as a third party, monitored <br /> the remediation operation performed by Mustang Homes on behalf of the client or <br /> homeowner at the above referenced structure. This report documents the pressure pier <br /> and the underpinning installation details of the work completed.The approximate locations <br /> of the perimeter underpin piers are depicted on the enclosed underpinning layout. <br /> _I <br /> PURPOSE OF • . <br /> WHATIS.T,HE.UNDERMINNING? <br /> Underpinning system is a process of augmenting the foundation underneath the building. <br /> There are a variety of methods to accomplish this, each with its own benefits and <br /> drawbacks. Generally, underpinning is a method of transferring the wall and roof loads on <br /> the foundations to deeper soils or even to the limestone itself. <br /> HOW DOES...UNDERKNNING WORK? . <br /> Underpinning involves attaching steel piers using pin brackets to the foundation' of the <br /> home, and driving those piers into deeper competent soils or to the limestone formation. If <br /> - correctly planed out and mounted, underpinning supplies the lift the structure or <br /> foundation needs to meet a more satisfactory level, also providing a future support as a <br /> preventative from settling of the underpinned area. <br /> Southeast Property Acquisitions Property <br /> Project No.:SGT-F1808-9130 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
