Summary
*
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 on site this shift: Proof-roll Summary and remediation recommendations: <h3>Project Overview</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Project Name:</strong> Sterlington Entrance Deceleration Lane</li> <li><strong>Deceleration Lane Dimensions:</strong> 150 feet x 16 feet</li> </ul> <h3>Proof Roll Details</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Equipment Used:</strong> Loaded tandem dump truck</li> <li><strong>Attendees:</strong> <ul> <li>Grading Foreman</li> <li>County Inspector</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h3>Proof Roll Results</h3> A proof-roll was conducted on the entire deceleration lane at the entrance to Sterlington. The proof-roll covered an area approximately 150 feet long and 16 feet wide. The grading foreman and county inspector were present to observe the procedure. <h4>Observations:</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Acceptable Areas:</strong> Majority of the deceleration lane was found to not exhibit severe pumping and/or deflection.</li> <li><strong>Problematic Area:</strong> An approximately 4-foot-wide section running the length of the deceleration lane exhibited some noticeable deflection.</li> </ul> <h3>Issue Identified</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Problem:</strong> Pumping was observed in the 4-foot-wide section.</li> <li><strong>Cause:</strong> The pumping is likely caused by a pre-existing water line buried under current grade, leading to instability in the soils above.</li> </ul> <h3>Recommendations</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Soil Removal and Replacement:</strong> <ul> <li><strong>Action:</strong> Remove approximately 6 inches of soil over the problematic 4-foot-wide section.</li> <li><strong>Replacement Material:</strong> Backfill the excavated area with No. 57 stone to stabilize the section.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Reasoning:</strong> The removal of unstable soil and replacement with No. 57 stone should increase subgrade stability.</li> </ul> <h3>Agreement</h3> <ul> <li>Both the county inspector and grading foreman agreed with the identified issue and the recommended remediation plan.</li> </ul> <h3>Immediate Actions Taken</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Communication:</strong> Findings and recommendations were communicated to the grading foreman.</li> <li><strong>Planning:</strong> Coordinated with the grading foreman to prepare for the soil removal and stone placement process.</li> </ul> <h3>Remediation Observation</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Status:</strong> The remediation process was not observed during the proof-roll.</li> </ul> <h3>Conclusion</h3> The proof-roll identified an issue in a 4-foot-wide section of the deceleration lane, likely due to a pre-existing water line. The recommended remediation involves removing 6 inches of soil in the affected area and replacing it with No. 57 stone. This plan was agreed upon by both the county inspector and the grading foreman. Follow-up actions will be necessary to confirm the completion and effectiveness of the remediation.
