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.

Upon arrival at the Mt. Moriah (west) side of the bridge, it was observed that backfill placement had progressed to approximately 1 foot below finished elevation. A Caterpillar excavator and two off-road tandem dump trucks were removing material from the cut areas of the Naturewalk extension and transporting it to the bridge backfill area. A skid steer, ride-on vibratory sheepsfoot compactor, and trench packer were utilized for material placement and compaction.

A proof-roll was conducted with the grading contractor in attendance. Compaction testing was performed using a Troxler 3430 nuclear density gauge, and the test results indicated passing compaction.

No further observations were made on this day.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you on this project. If you have any questions regarding this report, please feel free to contact us. We will be more than happy to discuss it with you.
