OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Pavement sub grading continued @ the west side of building 2. Minor cuts were made to the south
half of the lot and pushed to landscape areas @ the north. The material is onsite urban fill generally
consisting of F - C sand and gravel, little silt with slag, ash, wood brick, metal Etc. A pocket of
unstable soil was identified during trafficking with the site dump truck. The wet/unstable material was
removed to an approximate depth of 5' below design finished grade elevation. The sub grade is still wet
urban fill. A layer of geogrid was placed over the sub grade followed by dry onsite generated common
fill. The onsite material was placed in 18" thick lifts and compacted utilizing the IR drum roller
exhibiting stable/firm conditions. Additional areas were identified as being softened and requiring
removal and replacement prior to placement of pavement base course materials. Work in this area
remained incomplete on this date.
Installation of roof drainage utilities was performed @ the west side of building 2. The HDPE
piping was installed with the appropriate bends and cleanouts and bedded in ¾" crushed stone. Due to
the shallow depth of the utility, backfilling was not required at this point.
