Observations/Finding

As requested, the site was visited by our AS Engineering and Consulting (ASEC) representative for the purpose of providing quality control inspection and testing services.  Visual observation techniques were employed to verify compliance with project drawing/specifications, applicable codes, and materials submittals. The following observations were observed on site this day.

The undersigned arrived onsite to observe CMU block retaining wall #1 installation.

The undersigned noted that base course material was used as backfill behind the block and in the cells (crushed #57 stone).

Geo-Grid was placed every 3rd course of the wall.  Backfill was placed in 12-inch lifts and compacted using a 12-ton pad-foot and trench compactor.

#57 stone was also utilized 1 foot behind the block and within the cells.

In case of any questions or concerns with regards to our observations or recommendations stated in this report we will be more than glad to discuss them with you.
