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 road (location is shown in the pictures), continued this day.
• At the time of arrival, our representative observed that work was in progress with 8 inches lifts being placed and compacted using CP56B compaction equipment. Compaction testing was performed using a Troxler nuclear density gauge of Soil (ASTM D 2937), along with general probing using a 3/8″ diameter probe rod.
• Density test results indicate that most of the compacted materials met the project requirement of 98% of the maximum dry density obtained by a Standard Proctor ASTM 698.however test#3 didn’t meet the project requirement of 98% the reason was because of the high moisture level than the specified moisture limit, the contractor was notified and it was recommended to scatter and dry out the soil then compact it with mechanical equipment, it will be tested again.

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.
