Observations/Finding

The site was visited by Rasheen Biggins 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 project site, our representative observed work was already in progress and close to completion. The contractor continued placing fill along the dam area with each lift placed between 6-8 inches in thickness.   A CAT bulldozer spread these materials brought by two CAT Dump trucks which were compacted using a CAT 825K landfill compactor. Density tests were performed on the fill placed. Based on the density test results, visual observation of the material placed and random probing of the placed lifts, the fill placed was found to meet job specifications for soil compaction.  Test results can be found in the attached density test report.  The contractor was notified of the results.
