OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Perimeter footing trench excavation continued within the NE limits of proposed building #2 (see
sketch). The trench was excavated to design elevation utilizing the Deere 450 excavator equipped with a
flat cutting edge (flared teeth) to minimize sub grade disturbance. Ground improvements were recently
completed in this area by installing GCC deep foundation elements. The area was over excavated 6" below
design BOF elevation to provide a cushion/base of material between the elements and the footing. All
GCC elements were carefully located and exposed during excavation. The sub grade soil in this area
varies in consistency from native marine clay to tannin bark. Groundwater was present. A layer of woven
fabric (SW200) was used atop the sub grade in lieu of the specified mirafi 160 or equivalent.
Compaction of the sub grade will not be feasible due to the wet organic sub grade soils. A 6" thick
layer of ¾" crushed stone was placed and graded. The surface of the stone was compacted utilizing the
heavy plate compactor generally exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
