Re: Retaining Wall Inspection at 712 Wortham, Grapevine, TX 76051
Dear Mr. Banner:
Reference is made to my earlier design drawings on the retaining walls for the subject
properties same as above. This project was designed by myself while working at a different
firm, Noakes Engineering in 2012.
Since this is an older project I made a review of the past inspection records in my files and
an inspection of recent pictures taken of the finished wall you have built on this lot. My
inspection was to confirm that the walls have been built according my design plans. From
the evidence reviewed, the block structure, drainage, and backfill, were all properly
installed.
In my opinion, the walls are in a suitable structural condition and will continue to perform
their earth retaining function provided that the drain system is maintained and continues
to function properly and the grading is maintained to keep excess moisture from saturating
the soils behind and at the wall’s base.
Yours truly,
