Re: Geotechnical Report Addendum
Revised Bearing Pressure
Westgate Village
Edmonds, WA
Dear Mr. Jansen,
This letter provides an addendum to PanGEO’s geotechnical report for the above property
(PanGEO, 2016) to address the recommended bearing pressure for foundation design. The
following briefly discusses our findings and conclusions.
REVISED BEARING PRESSURE
Our geotechnical report dated September 16, 2015 recommended an allowable bearing pressure
of 3 ksf for foundation design. Assuming the “outside” footing on the east is located at least 6
feet below the existing ground surface (as well as other footings in the basement) allowable
bearing pressures may be increased to 6 ksf.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service. If you have questions or need additional
information, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
W. Paul Grant, P.E.
Principal Geotechnical Engineer
