RE: West Sandy Lake Blvd. Ph. 2A Ret. WallKeith
Yes, the spacing for expansion joints is to be 96 feet maximum. Construction/contraction joints are to be placed at 32 feet maximum between the expansion joints.

Delvin,
The contractor is setting up for his first pour for this wall on Friday. Can you confirm the 96 foot spacing on expansion joints is for the wall and trail/footing?
Thank you.
