Observations/Finding

At the request of the client’s representative, our AS ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING, LLC (ASEC) representative visited the job site to observe the contractor’s work activities from a quality standpoint to verify compliance with project drawings/specifications, applicable codes, and materials submittals and conducted QC testing per the project drawings and specifications.  The following observations were made:

Our representative observed the contractor use a CAT 336 to excavate the sewer trench from MH 4.9-4.10. Contractor then used a CAT 315f to place sewer laterals and added No. 57 stone to 6 inches above pipe. The contractor then transported GAB to the newly placed sewer lateral. GAB and soil were placed from MH 4.9-4.10 and compacted with a walk-behind roller.

1. Backfilling Activities:   Contractors placed backfill in sewer laterals and storm trenches. Also Added 6 inches of No. 57 stone, then GAB.
2. Storm Drainpipe Installation:  Contractors inserted 351F sewer lateral.

Conclusion: The ongoing backfilling and storm drainpipe installation activities are progressing as planned.
