OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for foundation backfill. The writer
arrived on site and met with Mike from Meninno and observed the soil is F-M sand and gravel, little
silt, on-site. The previously compacted soil was at finish grade level, between column line A-N at 5-6
and between column line A-N at 1-2, elevation -2' TOW. Upon the writers departure, placed fill reviewed
during the course of this visit were observed to be dry, firm and stable. A total of 5 field density
tests were performed using the ASTM D1556 Sand Cone method of testing. The earthwork observed/tested
does conform to minimum requirements of 95% compaction. These observations/testing results were
reported to Mike from Meninno during this visit.
