Observations/Finding

Our AS Engineering & Consulting (ASEC) representative arrived on site to observe field activities. The following tasks were performed:

Observed the placement of fill for sections of roadway today. Compaction tests were performed using a nuclear density gauge. Overall, the results of density testing confirmed that fill compaction met the project and ASTM requirements. Results are attached in separate reports.

A temporary pond filled with water located adjacent to Lot#70 (and roadway) was observed by Ram Mogulla of ASEC for subgrade stability for further fill placement. A 7-foot test pit displayed unsuitable materials. A proof-roll was also performed and showed pumping and rutting indicating underlying wet soil.  Following a discussion with the grading contractor, the grading contractor agreed to drain away excess water, demuck soft soils and then begin fill placement in the specified area.  For more detail, please see the attached pictures.

Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this report or of the density test results.
