SHOWN.
ACTUAL SOIL CONDITIONS UNCOVERED AND CONFIRM ACTUAL BEARING CAPACITY OF SOILS BEFORE DEPOSITING OF CONCRETE.

2. FOOTING FOR CHB WALLS AND OTHER MINOR STRUCTURES SHALL BE EMBEDED AT LEAST 600mm FROM THE NATURAL GRADE LINE.
3. PROVIDE TEMPORARY REMOVAL OF WATER FROM ANY SOURCE DURING CONSTRUCTION. DEWATERING SHALL BE CAREFULLY
AND PROPERLY PERFORMED TO AVOID DISTURBING THE FOUNDATIONS AND SLAB BEARING SURFACES.
4. PREPARE CONDITIONS OF CONCRETE SUPPLY AND PLACEMENT OF THE COMPLETE FOUNDATION FOR THE FULL THICKNESS
