OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Installation of water main utilities was performed at the ENE side of proposed building 2 (see
sketch). The excavation was carried down to design elevation utilizing the Deere 380 excavator. The 8"
diameter class 52 CLDI piping was installed and bedded in clean imported bedding sand. The sub grade
was previously prepared using crushed stone and processed gravel structural fills. All appropriate
tees, bends and fittings were used for the installation. Boulders were used as thrust blocks. The
approach to the building was prepared by removing existing tannin bark fill from the area and replacing
the material with compacted structural fill. This area will eventually become an access drive to the
building trash room. The utilities were backfilled using the same material generated during excavation
generally consisting of F - C gravel and sand, trace silt placing. 12 - 18" thick lifts were placed and
graded. Each lift was compacted employing several passes of coverage utilizing the heavy Wacker plate
compactor exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
