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.

Seven Hills: Amenities:

Due to the excessive rainfall in the preceding days, the jobsite remained saturated with excessive moisture. To address this, the contractor began clearing the slopes and facilitating the drying process using a Komatsu PC360LC excavator and a Komatsu 39PX dozer. These machines were utilized to effectively remove excess moisture, level the surface, and prepare the site for the next phase of construction. The combination of equipment helped improve site conditions by enhancing drainage and accelerating the drying of the wet soil.

Savannah Pipeline Company has initiated the installation of stormwater lines at the amenities job site, located between the clubhouse and tennis court area. Excavation work is being carried out using the Kobelco SK350LC excavator. Compaction efforts are being executed with a Hamm Shep Toe compactor and a remote-controlled compactor, while smaller, confined spaces are compacted using a jackhammer to achieve the required density and stability. For the day’s progress, the installation of manholes A4, A15, MH5 has been successfully completed. These installations have been carefully followed by the team, with additional work planned for the following day to ensure continued progress on the project.

  • 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 compacted materials did meet the project requirement of 95% of the maximum dry density obtained by a Standard Proctor ASTM 698. compaction suggestions are made to the superintendent, also the Visual analysis of probe rod check and dump truck Proof rolling is approved taking the instructions from the Head office

Nature Walk: Lot 995

Lot 995 was dozed and cleaned using a Komatsu 39PXI dozer and a Komatsu PC240LC excavator. The slopes at the rear of the lot were corrected by adding dirt with dump trucks, while the shaping and management of the slopes were handled by the Komatsu machinery. No backfilling was done except for the slopes. Stone was encountered during the slope backfilling, and the necessary backfill instructions were provided to the superintendent for proper handling. Additionally, the probe was checked to ensure all conditions were met.

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.
