For this new home project in Ann Arbor Michigan on a sloping terrain, we designed the foundation system with a serieds of grid beams. The slab on top of the beam forms the basement slab.

The concrete in the grade beams was place on May-06-2006 as described in New Home Project in Ann Arbor Michigan ANAND Enterprises Project GemH1-101 ... May-06-2006 Update.

I inspected the project side for concrete placement readiness for basement slab on Saturday May-20-2006. Some work still remains to be done but the contractor will have it done before concrete placement. It has been raining for the last couple of weeks. Concrete placement has been planned for Monday May-22-2006. The concrete walls will be formed on top of the basement slab. It has been decided to install a waterstop in basement slab at junction with the exterior walls.
