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 ASEC representative was on site to observe the contractor and for the observation/testing of the placement of fill/backfill. The contractor continued placing soil lifts of approximately 1 foot to 1.5 feet in thickness across the roadway and shoulder at approximately station 4900 to 5000 (near the entrance of the site off Mount Moriah Road). Soil lifts were compacted using a vibrating sheep-foot roller and loaded off road trucks. Density testing was performed and test results were provided to the contractor. ASEC watched as loaded off road trucks rolled across the lifts to verify stability. There were no signs of severe pumping or deflection present in the roadway.
