Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jun 27, 2021 11:12 am Hi. We are doing a KDR and will be demolishing in a couple of months. Before we decided to go down this path we had some underpinning done using a resin/polyurethane product. We're not sure what to expect when the house is demolished and none of the demolition companies we have spoken to have experience with it. Has anyone done this before and can share your experience? Thanks! Re: Demolishing a house with resin/polyurethane underground 2Jun 27, 2021 11:27 am Do you have a geotech report and soil Classification? From an engineering perspective I can see any unforeseen additional costs? But It is money for jam as an unforeseen additional cost if the builder chooses to go after extra variations/monies Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Demolishing a house with resin/polyurethane underground 3Jun 27, 2021 3:41 pm A geotech report before the house is demolished? Are you even an engineer? The house has to go before testing can be done across the site Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it.

LOL, Your see Civil Engineer in My profile that covers me for Geotechnical Design Just curious, you know nothing about Engineering and Building What do you do that makes you such an expert? Noname The house has to go before testing can be done across the site Nonsense, Borehole testing can be undertaken adjacent to the existing House. here's an eg. we don't pull houses down and clear blocks in order to do a geo report when adding Extensions? There's no difference in reports for new Builds or House Extensions Stop trolling you are just proving that you are a fool hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Demolishing a house with resin/polyurethane underground 5Jun 27, 2021 4:46 pm I could put Facebook ceo in my profile but it doesn't make me Zuckerberg. Why aren't you set up as an actual professional on the site like the rest of the professionals on the site are? The guy is doing a KDR, meaning he's planing on putting a house ONTOP of the existing envelope. Otherwise he wouldn't be knocking it down. It's not an extension where a bore hole adjacent to the house IS appropriate. As an engineer you should know that the conditions under the house aren’t going to be reflected elsewhere on the block. Show me one KDR where where the geo was done before the place was knocked down to make space for a house that overlaps the old envelope. Your argument litterally shows you up. You still haven't answered the question the other thread. How'd you screw basic maths up? Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it.

The soil profile is the same...

If the soil profile is the same, why do multiple bore holes get taken? Is it because you have to actually verify that the profile IS the same/consitant across the site so that the engineering can be moddeled accurately? Shouldn't you know this?

Sad thing is you got such basic maths wrong, haven't explained how that happened and you're calling me an idiot? Classic BIMboy deflection. If you're going to tell people you're an engineer, you should probably try not to get basic multiplication and division wrong Pretty sure the standard requires siteworks to be accounted for in classification, which obviously aren't known on a KDR before the house is demolished. Which is exactly the reason why builders do it after. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig.
