OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for foundation backfill. The writer
observed backfilling was underway at the pier footings located at lines C and F at 18-19. Recycled
material imported from Caruso in Revere, MA was placed in ~12" thick loose lifts. The lifts were
compacted by four to six times by the plate compactor, producing firm, stable lift surfaces. A total of
four field density tests were performed using the ASTM D6938 Nuclear Densometer method of testing. The
earthwork observed/tested does conform to minimum requirements of 95% compaction. These
observations/testing results were reported to Mr. Levesque during this visit.
