Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the method of installation of a deep foundation unit will impair the properties of soil or rock, and the strength and integrity of previously installed units, which could lead to excessive displacement of the foundation, which could lead to:
  • damage to the building, and
  • distortion of the building, which could impede the use and occupancy of the building.
