OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Footing trench excavation was performed for the perimeter foundation within the SW limits of
proposed building #1 (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 previously completed in this area by installing GCC deep foundation elements. The
elements were previously excavated to design cutoff elevation. The area was over excavated a minimum 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 tannin bark or urban fill containing wood, ash, brick, slag etc. The excavation falls on the
strata transition from urban fill to tannin bark. Footings were stepped down in this area to
accommodate through the wall sanitary and drain penetrations. The respective piers were saw cut and
chipped to design elevation (6" below BOF elevation). 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 exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
