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.

On the above date our representative was on site to observe the grading contractor continue placing fill at Nature Walk Parkway between STA 52+50 and 54+00. The writer performed density tests using a Troxler Nuclear gauge model 3430, serial no. 91643. After additional compacting efforts compaction results met required job specifications. Recommendations made to contractor were to reduce the depth of loose lifts from 16″+ to 10″ to 12″ loose lifts and make more passes using the vibratory sheep-foot roller which is trying to cover too large an area and to use the off-road dump trucks to compact sandy silt materials.
