Each helical pier will be installed to a depth of 14 feet below grade or until refusal. Install 4 additional helical tie-back piers to a depth of 14 feet below grade or until refusal.

This excavation is to extend to a depth of approximately 4 feet below grade to a maximum depth not to exceed the depth of the foundation footing. 

Install a waterproof drain panel adjacent to the exterior face of the foundation wall to prevent migration of water beyond the foundation system.
