Observations/Finding

As requested, the site was visited by our AS Engineering and Consulting (ASEC) representative for the purpose of providing quality control inspection and testing services.  Visual observation techniques were employed to verify compliance with project drawing/specifications, applicable codes, and materials submittals. The following observations were observed on site this day.

• The placement and compaction of backfill soils for the sewer trench between MH C2 and MH C3, continued this day.
• At the time of arrival, our representative observed that work was in progress with one (1) foot lifts being placed, compacted using a sheeps-foot compactor.
• Density test results indicate that the compacted materials met the project requirement of 95% of the maximum dry density obtained by the (Standard Proctor ASTM 698).
• A bearing pressure evaluation was performed by visual inspection and probing testing for the footings of retaining wall 6 and retaining wall 7,
• During the evaluation, soft, muddy and some soils with some organics were encountered.  Recommended the removal of (25′ x 30′ x 7′ deep) of these unsuitable soils to reach suitable residual soils.
