Observations/Finding

The site was visited by the undersigned AS Engineering and Consulting (ASEC) representative for the purpose of providing quality control inspection and testing services. Visual observation techniques were employed to assure compliance with project drawings/specifications, applicable codes, and materials submittals. The following observations were made on site today:

It was observed that storm drainpipe A7-A71 was backfilled.  An RTSC3 trench packer was used for compaction.  Several densities were taken during this process see attached report.  Due to excessive moistures required compaction was not reached.  A recommendation was made for smaller lifts and using soil with a lower moisture content.  A discussion with Bill Bernard, the general superintendent, was conducted following testing.
