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

Upon arrival to the site, I observed that work was not yet in progress, After a discussion with the contractor, we were informed that fill placement on Creek #2 road crossing (soil bridge) would commence. A CAT bulldozer spread fill material brought by two CAT dump trucks, along with a CAT 825K landfill compactor. Density tests were performed on the fill. Lifts were observed to be placed in 10 inch thickness.  See attached for density test results. After a few tests it was observed that moisture contents for the fill was still high making compaction difficult. After a discussion with Ram Mogulla P.E. of ASEC , it was agreed if the compaction was over 95% then further lifts could be placed. All results was reported back to the contractor and work continued.
