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 for Lot #19, Lot #20 and the placement of GAB on the deceleration lane 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 CP54B compaction equipment.  Compaction testing was performed using a Troxler nuclear density gauge along with general probing using a 3/8″ diameter probe rod.
• Density test results indicate that the compacted materials generally did not meet the project requirement of 95% of the maximum dry density obtained by a Standard Proctor ASTM 698. 
• Note: the placement of GAB on the deceleration lane was not compacted by the contractor.

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.
