Subject: Open Hole Inspection Letter for prefabricated metal building
Mr. Castillo,
Geo Quest (GQ) visited the foundation excavation for a prefabricated metal building at 1863 Six Lazy K
Road, south of New Castle on December 8, 2025 to observe the foundation excavation and soil
conditions.
At the time of GQ's site visit the excavations were completed, rebar was in place and forms were placed
using the excavation method with no wood forms. The entire excavation was well covered with concrete
blankets to protect the work area from rain, snow and saturation. A visual and tactile inspection of the
soil was performed, and a half inch diameter probe rod was used to attempt to detect soft, weak areas in
the bottom of the excavations. The foundation bearing soil in the excavation is suitable for a maximum
allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 psf.
Care should be used to direct water away from the excavations and prevent softening of the bearing
soils. GQ should be contacted for review if soil conditions change before concrete is placed.
Respectfully submitted,
Geo Quest, LLC
