OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Footing excavation continued for isolated interior footings within the ESE 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 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 fill and varies in consistency from urban loamy fill
with organic silt, ash, gravel, slag, wood Etc. to tannin bark. GCC # 666 was broken at a depth of 44"
below design cutoff elevation. The pier was repaired using the concrete sonotube detail. A section of
24" diameter HDPE piping was used in lieu of a paper sonotube to maintain stability during backfilling.
The sub grade was generally dry and firm. A 6" thick layer of ¾" crushed stone was placed at each
location. The stone was compacted employing several passes of coverage utilizing the heavy plate
compactor generally exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
