RE: Scanning of Columns to Establish Reinforcing Bar Locations and Size
As per your request, Briggs Engineering & Testing performed a scan of the existing concrete
columns at the above noted property. The purpose of this scanning is to ascertain the location,
spacing / lay -out and size of the reinforcing steel in the columns. Scanning was performed using
our Humbolt Cover Meter. There are twelve columns in total. The columns are 16"X 16" and
5.5' in height. After scanning the exposed vertical surfaces on eleven of the twelve columns, the
following observations were made.
1) there are four vertical bars in the columns, estimated to be #8 size at 4" deep. Note that the
estimated bar size could differ by one bar size. See attached sketch.
2) Stirrup Bars estimated to be #4 size were noted to be positioned at an average of F LIP the
Height of the columns at 4" deep from the scanning surface.
Please see the attached sketch depicting the typical reinforcing in the columns examined.
If you have any questions on these results or require further testing, please contact me
at our Rockland, MA office.
