OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for floor slab base. The writer observed
the site contractor placing 12" loose lifts of F-M sand and gravel, little silt, on-site. Backfilling
began at elevation -5' from existing grade and subsided at -3' from existing grade. The site compactor
compacted each lift with the 7500LB plate compactor, making 5 complete passes in each direction. A
total of 3 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 Nick during this visit.
