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, our representative observed that fill placement was in progress. According to Morris(contractor), fill placement along the dam would continue with each lift placed between 6 to 8 inches in thickness.   A CAT bulldozer spread fill material brought by two CAT Dump trucks and compacted using a CAT 825K landfill compactor. Density tests were then performed.  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 compaction. Test results were reported back to the contractor and can be found in the attached density reports.
