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 fill soils for Lot #13, Lot #14 and basements of Lot #15 and Lot #16, continued this day.
• At the time of arrival, our representative observed that work was in progress with 1-foot lifts being placed and compacted using 15-ton sheeps-foot (CP54B) compaction equipment and compaction testing was performed using a Traxler nuclear gauge done by QC along with general probing using a 3/8″ diameter probe rod.
• Density test results indicate that the compacted materials did not meet the project requirement of 95% of the maximum dry density obtained by a Standard Proctor ASTM 698. 

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact us. We will be more than happy to discuss it with you.
