OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Footing excavation was performed for isolated interior footings within the northern limits of
proposed building #2 (see sketch). The trench was excavated to design elevation utilizing the deere 80
and cat excavators. Ground improvements were recently completed in this area by installing GCC deep
foundation elements. The area was over excavated a minimum of 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 is either imported processed
gravel or urban fill containing slag, ash, gravel, sand, wood, brick, organic silt and various other
debris. The sub grade was dry and firm. A 6" thick layer of 3/4" crushed stone was placed at each
location. A layer of filter fabric was placed between the crushed stone and sub grade material. The
crushed stone base was compacted employing several passes of coverage utilizing the heavy plate
compactor exhibiting stable/firm conditions. The gravel overburden generated during footing excavation
was re used against perimeter footings as interior foundation backfill. A single 12" thick lift was
placed and graded. The material was compacted utilizing the heavy diesel plate compactor exhibiting
stable/firm conditions.
