OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Interior footing excavation continued within the Northern 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 elements were previously
excavated to design cutoff elevation. The area was over excavated 6 - 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 both native and
fill material and varies significantly in consistency. The materials encountered include organic silt,
clay fill, native clay, gravel, fibrous organic peat, tannin bark and urban fill containing wood, ash,
brick, slag etc. A layer of Mirafi 160 filter fabric was placed atop the sub grade. A 6 - 12" thick
layer of ¾" crushed stone was placed and graded. The surface of the stone was compacted utilizing the
heavy plate compactor generally exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
