Observations/Finding

Our ASEC representative was on site at the Northfields Project to observe and evaluate the ongoing work in accordance with project plans, specifications, and standards.

The area of focus for the day’s work was a section measuring 213 feet long, with widths varying from 8 feet near the southern portion to 3 feet near the northern portion.

A proof-roll was conducted over a 150-foot segment of this area. A loaded, tandem-axled dump truck was used to proof-roll.  No severe deflection, pumping or rutting was detected.

OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. The successful completion of the proof-roll in the 150-foot section.
2. We recommend that a similar proof-roll be carried out in the remaining 63-foot section to check for subgrade stability.
3. The varying width of the construction area from the southern to the northern portion should be closely observed during future works to ensure consistent and appropriate construction methodologies are applied.
4. Regular site inspections should continue to ensure all construction activities adhere to the project specifications and safety standards.
