Attachment 5. Brimmell Engineering Ltd. Geotech Considerations

Re: Mortared Stone Retaining Wall, 283 Kerwood St., View Royal Geotech Considerations

This is further to Field Review Rpt 1, issued on June 7. The wall alignment was discussed with Libral of Victoria Stonescape who explained that he located wall base on relatively level bedrock, which is credible given the challenging grades of the property. The wall alignment is considered suitable for site conditions. Constructing the wall of mortared stone, as opposed to stacked boulders as originally planned, is more stable and a better choice of retaining wall for this site.

I trust that this information meets your present requirements. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if there are any questions.

Yours truly,

Richard Brimmell, P.Eng. for Brimmell Engineering Ltd.
