Our office is the structural design engineer of record for the noted project. As
such, we issued construction documents dated Aug. 12, 2022. I performed a site
inspection on Feb. 16, 2023. The foundation system utilizes continuous concrete
foundation walls and footings.
1. The west foundation wall of the walk -out basement is approximately 44 feet long, and
there are two vertical steps in the wall as the wall steps down from full height to walk -out.
In the vicinity of those two steps the poured concrete foundation wall exhibits a significant
amount of honey combing and subsequent voids. There voids are not so serious as to
exposed any steel reinforcing bar.
2. Xypex Chemical Corporation (www.xypex.com) manufacturers a series of chemically
modified, cement based products which enhance and repair existing concrete. The Xypex
products when applied to existing concrete penetrate the existing concrete and set off a
secondary hydraulic reaction. This secondary crystallization type reaction bonds the
Xypex cement based product to the existing concrete and increases the strength of the
existing concrete.
3. Xypex `Patch'n Plug' should be used for repair of the honeycombed areas, and Xypex
`Megamix I' should be used for surface repairs.
If you have any further questions, feel free to call.
