South Fork Foundation Drawings.pdf

These are foundation repair drawings for the South Fork Dwelling located in the Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest, prepared by the USDA Forest Service for a foundation stabilization project. The technical drawings, dated 2/28/2024, include a dwelling plan view, typical details, and elevation views showing the proposed foundation repair methodology. Key technical specifications include:

The foundation repair involves installing new helical piers or micropiles around the building's perimeter, with the primary objective of stabilizing the structure and preventing further settlement. Specific repair techniques include cutting and removing portions of existing footing, installing new bracket epoxy bolted to the existing foundation wall, filling existing cracks with sica joint sealant, and using Simpson LCE4 connectors. The drawings indicate the building will have helical piers extending approximately 20-30 feet below the building, with digital torque sensors to be used during installation. The project is located in Utah County, within the Pleasant Grove Ranger District of the Intermountain Region, and has been recommended by Ryan Stone and approved by Kevin Bourne, the Director of Engineering.
