Site Corrosivity Evaluation <br />4400 Black Avenue, Pleasanton, CA <br />JDH Corrosion Consultants, Inc. 2 <br />Discussion <br />Reinforced Concrete Foundations <br />Due to the low levels of water-soluble sulfates found in these soils, there is no special <br />requirement for sulfate resistant concrete to be used at this site. The type of cement used <br />should be in accordance with California Building Code (CBC) for soils which have less than <br />0.10 percent by weight of water soluble sulfate (SO4) in soil and the minimum depth of cover <br />for the reinforcing steel should be as specified in CBC as well. <br />Underground Metallic Pipelines <br />The soils at the project site are generally con moderately corrosive <br />ductile/cast iron, steel and dielectric coated steel based on the saturated resistivity <br />measurements. Therefore, special requirements for corrosion control are required for buried <br />metallic utilities at this site depending upon the critical nature of the piping. Pressure piping <br />systems such as domestic and fire water should be provided with appropriate coating systems <br />and cathodic protection, where warranted. In addition, all underground pipelines should be <br />electrically isolated from above grade structures, reinforced concrete structures and copper <br />lines in order to avoid potential galvanic corrosion problems. <br />LIMITATIONS <br />The conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on the information and <br />assumptions referenced herein. All services provided herein were performed by persons who <br />are experienced and skilled in providing these types of services and in accordance with the <br />standards of workmanship in this profession. No other warrantees or guarantees, expressed or <br />implied, is provided. <br />We thank you for the opportunity to be of service to Cornerstone Earth Group on this project <br />and trust that you find the enclosed information satisfactory.
