OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Footing excavation continued for elevator and stair footings located within the Southern limits of
proposed building #2 (see sketch). The trench was excavated to design elevation utilizing the Deere 450
and 80 excavators equipped with a flat cutting edge to minimize sub grade disturbance. Ground
improvements were recently completed in this area by installing GCC deep foundation elements. The area
was over excavated approximately 8 - 12" 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 organic tannin bark. A 12" thick layer of 3/4"
crushed stone was placed and graded over the sub grade. 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.
