- Scope of SAC’s Review and Discussion per SFBC Sections 105A.6.3 and 106A.4.1.4
SAC will perform the design review to provide the Director of Building Inspection with a written report concerning the following review considerations, as applicable:
- the safety and integrity of the proposed design and construction;
- the effect that grading construction activity related to the proposed project will have on the safety and slope stability of the area during the construction sequence, and after the construction at subsequent development stages, and interim measures to mitigate any potential sliding and erosion of the site;
- the validity and appropriateness of the geotechnical/structural design concepts and criteria;
- the adequacy of the geotechnical and geological investigation and study and the appropriateness of the recommended design parameters;
- the evaluation of the grading design in preparation of the planned future building/structure development, to determine the appropriateness of its capability to perform satisfactorily without failure; any perpetual limitation of the site to be imposed regarding the level of future development, such as the future excavations, and/or vertical and horizontal additions from the original plan
- the constructability of proposed structural details and construction sequencing and methods;
- the sufficiency of the proposed inspection, testing and monitoring to be provided prior to, during, and after construction.
- items to be reviews will include but not limited to geotechnical and geological investigation and study, designs, details, drainage, erosion during and after construction, construction/erection methods, appropriateness and adequacy of the proposed shoring design, quality control and special inspection specified.
- Site monitoring plan during and after improvement and installation are constructed;
-
Necessity of follow-up review by the SAC for the additional site findings by the Geotechnical Engineer and Certified Engineering Geologist of Record’s during grading, excavation, and construction are the assumed and recommended geotechnical/geological design parameters.
The review shall include the evaluation of the stability of the project site with regard to the proposed subsequent development and the effect of its development on the stability of adjacent Areas. Review will consider factors including but not limited to design criteria and performance objectives, soil and site conditions, geological factors, historic site stability, the anticipated foundation system designs, soil and site improvement systems design, shoring/earth retaining system design, structural systems design, on and off site drainage impacts, and other proposed improvement designs for compliance with design criteria and performance objectives.
