Monarc Construction -- Footing Evaluation, May 21, 2011



Ron Wetzel, Site Superintendent, Monarc Construction, along with Ron, Jr. and Kyle spent Saturday morning, May 21st, examining the foundation of the Dent School.

After digging down through the basement floor the team discovered that Dent was built upon a substantial layer of rock and cobblestone (visible on the right of the footing picture)covered with cement before the brick interior structural wall began. Ron judged the footing quite satisfactory. Pictures, measurements, and final calculations will be used by the engineers to determine the amount of additional steel needed to support the building. Most of the masonry for the chimneys will be removed to add additional classroom space.

Wetzel will be Monarc's Site Superintendent for the Day School's construction project.
