At the request of the client’s representative, our AS ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING, LLC (ASEC) representative, Amin Azimi 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:

• A visual inspection was performed for the 18″ dimeter augured piers in two rows, spacing to be 5′-0″ O.C. (location highlighted in picture),
• The reinforcing steel was checked for correct size, number of bars, location of bars, spacing, cleanliness, support against displacement, splicing, clearance and steel grade. Based on visual observations and field measurements, the reinforcing steel at the utility panel, appeared to be acceptable for size, spacing and quantity with the following exception:
  • 1: Corner rebars were not in place.
  • 2: They didn’t cover the pier excavation with enough rebar mat. See picture.
  • They did not put the rebar according to the drawing. They put low mat rebars in high mat.
