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 placement and compaction of backfill soils for water line in the form Lots# 182 to lot#183 and lot#184 to lot#192, lot#193, lot#238, lot#239, lot#240. continued this day.
• At the time of arrival, our representative observed that work was in progress with1-foot lifts being placed and compacted using a 6-ton pad feet and trench compaction equipment. Compaction testing was performed using the Standard Test Method for Density of Soil in Place by Drive-Cylinder (ASTM D 2937), along with general probing using a 3/8″ diameter probe rod.
• Density test results indicate that most of the compacted materials met the project requirement of 95% of the maximum dry density obtained by a Standard Proctor ASTM 698.
• Note: contractor was working on retaining wall#1 and2 footing, under it was ground water and muddy materials, it was recommended by Ram to undercut about 2 feet of the muddy material and replace it with rib rap rocks and compact it and then add a layer of fabric.
