Observations/Finding

As requested, the site was visited by our AS Engineering and Consulting (ASEC) representative noted above, for the purpose of providing quality control inspection and testing services, visual observation techniques were employed to assure compliance with project drawing/specifications.

A request was made for a footing inspection for Lot #42 at the Enclave.

It was observed that during the rebar inspection, no chairs were present for the wire mesh.  The wire mesh was sitting directly on the plastic barrier.  It was recommended to the foreman (Robert) to install chairs to allow for proper concrete cover.  After correction, rebar was found to meet job specifications for size, spacing and quantity.  The footing was probed with a 3/8-inch diameter rod and deemed acceptable.  Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCPs) tests were performed with the results below:

1 ft – 11 – Red sandy silt
