Subject: Special Inspection of footings
Dear Mr & Mrs, Pochincherla,
As requested by you, and your contractor, our office performed a special inspection of the
footings per approved plans on November 30, 2023. During this inspection the following items
were visually inspected, and corrections noted:
1- Visual inspection of footings reinforcing bar sizes, grade of reinforcement, spacing, rebar
clearances, footing thicknesses, formwork, and horizontal footing reinforcement spacing and
splices found to conform with the approved permit plans.
2- Shear wall anchor bolts for holdowns were not installed and could not be inspected at that time.
They will be installed in the thickened footings or concrete stem -walls with their required
embedment length per approved structural drawings.
3- There is a portion of the footing that is in conflict with an existing sewer line. We asked the
contractor to stop the footing about 18 inches away from the end of the existing sewer cleanout in
the crawlspace and terminate the continuous footing into a 42" X 42" X 15" thick footing pad
w/#4 bars at 6 inches on center each way at the bottom of the pad with 3 inches clear from the
subgrade as shown below. This will allow the footing and the framing above to bypass the sewer
pipe and allow framing above without interference. As a result, the horizontal bars shall not need
to be drilled and epoxied into the existing foundation per detail 2/S2.1. A detail for framing
revisions above the footing will be issued in a separate letter.
