Site Inspection performed at the request of Andrew Besu with H&H, who wanted to
discuss soil contact wall issues covered previously. While onsite, it was determined that
one barrier needed to be extended around a mechanical room to the parking deck, and
potential soil contact wall treatment discussed on other locations on eastern side of
building.
