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.

Our representative was on site to observe work activities and perform testing. The writer observed the onsite stockpile soils which were a very light weight material which required additional compacting effort.  It was recommended to continue using both compaction rollers due to the light, silty nature of the material which was below optimum moisture content.  Additional moisture added and scarification was recommended prior to compaction. Density tests and compacting efforts appeared to have better results today.

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.
