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.

• After the rain from the previous days, the contractor continued scarifying and aerating using a Komatsu 39PXi dozer. At the same time, they used the Komatsu PC 360LC to fix and adjust the slopes of the site.

Savannah Pipe Works:

The contractor continues installation and backfilling work on manholes C5 and C4 using a Kobelco SK 350LC excavator. Following excavation, the backfill material was placed and compacted in one-foot lifts. Compaction was achieved through a combination of manual compactors, Dynapac remote control compactor, and final compaction of the top layers with a HAMM R2 roller. During our site inspection, it was observed that the compaction process was performed in accordance with project requirements. Soil density was tested using a nuclear density gauge. The results obtained met the job specifications of 95% of a standard proctor.
