Nutting Engineers of Florida, Inc. (NE) has completed observation of augercast piling operations
for the proposed residence guesthouse at the subject site. Bodax Foundations, Inc. installed cast -
in -place augured piles for support of the proposed residence.
Bodax Foundations, Inc. installed a total of 28, 16-inch diameter augercast piles for the project.
The piles were installed on September 19, 2013. The pile size and depth recommendations were
based upon review of our Report of Geotechnical Exploration prepared by Ardaman and
Associates, Inc. dated January 6, 2012.
The pile installation characteristics of each pile are presented in the attached Pile Installation
Data. Identification of each pile location followed by the pile number is shown on the Pile
Location Plans attached. Each pile record in the attached summary tables shows the following
information:

The drilling operations were monitored in the field by our field engineer and inspector in order to
approximately determine the type of material being penetrated. This identification was done
based on the augering time, the materials received during the drilling operations and the relative
hardness of the soils/rocks as indicated by the vibration or "chattering" of the hydraulic lines.
The augercast piles were installed to depths of thirty-four feet below the existing ground surface.
The residence piles were designed for an allowable compressive capacity of 35 tons as required
by the structural specifications and the recommendations made in the geotechnical report.
Generally, during the installation of the piles, easy drilling was observed from the ground level to
approximately twenty-five feet. Below this depth range medium drilling was encountered to the
final tip depth.
All piles received a steel cage consisting of five (5) #6 reinforcing steel bars with #4 ties spaced
16 inches from center to center in the upper fifteen feet of the pile and one central #6 reinforcing
steel bar the full length of the pile as stated in the structural specifications.
Upon completion of this inspection process, and review of the recorded data, it is our opinion
that the augercast piles for the guesthouse attained the required design compressive capacity of
35 tons. The piles that were presently installed were constructed in substantial compliance with
the plans and specifications.
