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 drawings/specifications, applicable codes and material submittals.
The following observations were observed on the site this day.

• The placement and compaction of backfill soil at the construction entrance road was in progress using sheeps-foot (CP54B), (RA30), (D51PX) and (CAT330) equipment.
• Construction and placement of Sta 4+18, a 50-foot-long segmental retaining wall (SRW) section #B progressed.
• At the time of our assessment, we observed that the roadway along the north side of the permanent storm water pond by dimensions of (L=200 feet, Width=35 feet, Depth=4 feet) was found to exhibit pumping and rutting.  These soft soils were removed, replaced and recompacted.   The remediation work continued this day.
• Excavation and preparation of trench for placement and installation of sewer lines and manholes progressed.
• Excavation and preparation of trench for placement and installation of storm water lines and manholes progressed.
• Installation and placement of sewer lines and MH SSD4 continued.
• Installation and placement of storm water MH CIA3 progressed.
• One (1) foot lifts were placed and compacted at the backfill area of segmental retaining wall (SRW) section #B using sheeps-foot (CP54B), (SD45B) and trench packer (BMP8500) equipment.
• At the time of arrival our representative observed that the work was in progress at the construction entrance road with one (1) foot lifts being placed and compacted using sheeps-foot (CP54B) and (D51PX) equipment.
• Density test results indicate that the compacted material met the project requirements of 95% the maximum dry density obtained by the (Standard Proctor ASTM 698).
