3 Geotechnical Engineering Report SERA Playground South Tacoma Community Center Tacoma, Washington SSGC Project No March 28, 2013 SSGC Field Exploration Procedures Our field exploration for this project included three (3) hand excavated holes completed on March 11, The approximate exploration locations are shown on the Site Plan (Figure 1). The exploration locations were determined by measuring distances from existing site features by pacing. Ground surface elevations referenced on the test pit logs were inferred from available information. The location of the test holes and elevations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the means and methods used. SSGC personnel excavated the test holes. Soil samples were collected and stored in moisture tight containers and transported to a subcontracted soil laboratory for testing. Test holes were backfilled with excavated soils and tamped. Please note that backfill in the excavations may settle with time. The following test holes logs indicate the observed lithology of soils and other materials observed in the excavations. Where a soil contact was observed to be gradational, our log indicates the average contact depth. Our logs also indicate the approximate depths of groundwater (where observed), along with sample numbers and approximate sample depths. Classification of the soils indicated on the logs are in general accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. A-1
