    Observations by Michael Hathhorn

    Waterproofing Engineer Webcor Builders

    Day one 12/19/2011 consisted of investigating the condition of the garage to determine

    locations to be tested. The surfaces of the walls of the garage were skim coated with a

    concrete product that appeared to have been applied after previous injections. This top

    coat was mechanically removed exposing the Shot-Crete wall. Harvey with Harvey Haynes

    and Associates made a determination of the locations acceptability for testing.

    Below are pictures of the pre-testing investigations: Note -- effervescence and

    mineralization samples being removed from one possible test location.

    Day two (12-20-2011) consisted of the final selection of the test areas, eight locations werechosen. Following the determination of test locations core samples were removed. The

    diameter and depth of the core samples varied based on the intent of the testing and

    rebar locations. Rebar was located using a hand scanner. Cores were removed using a

    diamond abrasive tubular bit lubricated with water. After the cores were removed the

    voids created were patched by Harvey Haynes and Associates.
