We have soil reports.
They are in Spanish, so I cannot read them, although loading them into BabelFish is very instructive:
Dear engineer: We presented/displayed the ground study and the results to him, made in located lot in Nosara, Nicoya, Guanacaste, whose 3223.31 area is of m2, with number of real folio [], property of [] where the construction of a condominium of two levels projects. The ground study contemplates to profile of the ground, unified classification, capacity of support, establishments, level of laying of foundations, laboratory tests. In case of some explanation it sírvase to indicate to us and we will take care of to him with much pleasure.
So far so good. I am pleased that they will take care of to him with much pleasure. I suspect that this translation is only going to get worse...
Reach The present study involves tools and technical procedures pertaining to the branch of geotécnica engineering, with the primary target to make an evaluation of the physical-mechanical characteristics of the present ground in the interest site, this way to raise the appropriate geotécnicas recommendations for the technical feasibility, design and construction or maintenance of civil works to develop in the investigation area. It is required to determine type of ground, the capacity of permissible support of the ground in different layers, profile of the land, and geotécnico lineament for the construction of a condominium of two levels. 2 Description of the Work were made three perforations to percussion by means of the method of standard penetration (SPT) according to ASTM 1586, in the P-1 perforations and P-2 was reached the depth defined initially of 4.20 ms. In the P-3 perforation the bounce of the standard equipment also appeared and with the use of the end trepan (TP), the depth reached in the P-3 exploration was of 3.00 East m.s method allows to know the consistency grounds according to the number of blows NSPT, for penetration of 30 cm as well as the continuous taking of samples for classification, description of the ground and laboratory tests. From each perforation samples for the classification of the ground in agreement with the SUCS are obtained (Unified System of Ground Classification), each 60 cm, according to the standard method, when using the TP can be known the support capacity but the sampling accomplishment is not possible. From the recovered samples the natural humidity is obtained, limits of Atterberg, graduation.
Franky, Babel Fish makes more sense than some of the first year associates with which I work.
I will not continue this exercises. The soil report looks very professional and complete. Once Guillermo and DatumZero have had an opportunity to work with the reports, I will let you know what they think and then make a recommendation to work, or not to work with this firm.
In the mean time, we press onwards, now working with a structural engineer to find new and creative ways to make a house that will not fall down.
