    FDC & Associates Corporation reviewed a preliminary soils investigation report for a property located at 5222 Rideout Way. An addendum provides temporary excavation recommendations for a proposed retaining wall along the north property line and garage walls. Temporary shoring and slot cutting will be required for the retaining wall excavation to prevent collapse of a damaged existing neighboring wall. Conventional excavation can be used for the garage walls up to 10 feet in height, with slopes trimmed back at a 1:1 gradient if exceeding limits. All excavations must be stabilized within 15 days and protected from weather, with no vehicular surcharge within 5 feet of the top.

    TEMPORARY EXCAVATION

    FDC & Associates perform a site soil observation on November 4th 2019 to provide temporary
    excavation recommendations on retaining walls design proposed by Arturo Vasquez Plans to be
    built on subject property and found evidence of structural damage on existing neighbord wall
    (See Attached Picture). The temporary excavation for the proposed wall on North property line
    will remove lateral support and produce collapse of damaged existing wall section.

    NORTH PROPERTRY LINE WALL TEMPORARY EXCAVATION


    Vertical excavations along north property line, will require temporary shoring and ABC slot
    cutting.

    ABC Slot Cut


    ABC Slot cutting are cut, using the ABC method, in which all slots are of the same width. The
    initial slot "A" is cut eight feet (8') in width, leaving the "B" and "C" slots to buttress the
    excavation. The footing and wall is constructed in the "A" slot, cured, braced, and backfilled;
    the same procedure is used for the "B" slots; then the "C" slots. The City of Los Angeles
    Department of Building and Safety requires continuous inspection of all slot cut
    excavations.
    GARAGE WALL TEMPORARY EXCAVATION
    Garage walls temporary excavations ranging in vertical height up to teen feet (10') will be
    required for the proposed development. Conventional excavation equipment may be used to
    make these excavations. Excavations should expose natural soil, colluvium and bedrock.
    The natural soil, colluvium is suitable for unsurcharged vertical excavations up to five feet
    (5'). The bedrock is suitable for unsurcharged vertical excavations up to fourteen feet (8'), in
    favorably oriented bedrock. Excavations shall not exceed a combined height of ten feet (10').
    Excavations that exceed the stated height limits, and all loose surficial material, shall be
    trimmed back at a gradient of 1:1 (h:v). This should be verified by soils engineer during
    construction so that modifications can be made if variations in the soil occur.
    Construction excavations shall be made under the supervision and periodic review performed
    by this office.
    All excavations should be stabilized within 15 days of initial excavation. If this time is
    exceeded, the project soils engineer must be notified, and modifications, such as shoring or
    slope trimming may be required. Water should not be allowed to pond on top of the
    excavation, nor to flow toward it. All excavations should be protected from inclement
    weather. The top of the excavations should be barricaded to ensure that no vehicular
    surcharge be allowed within five feet (5') of the top of cut.
    All other construction methods shall meet the requirements of the Construction and General
    Industry Safety Orders, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, California OSHA in addition to
    other public agencies having jurisdiction.
