Observations/Finding

Our AS Engineering & Consulting (ASEC) representative arrived on site to observe field activities. The following tasks were performed:

Observed the placement of fill/grading for Lot #114 today. Compaction tests were performed using a nuclear density gauge. Overall, the results of density testing confirmed that fill compaction met the project and ASTM requirements. Results are attached in separate reports.

In place moisture contents are still much higher than 3 percent over optimum moisture content.  These soils need to spread out and aerated prior to fill placement.  Contractor has elected to go to placing thinner lifts with compaction testing at 6-inch intervals while these soils remain wet.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this report or of the density test results.
