OBSERVATIONS:
This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Footing trench excavation was performed for foundation near the main entrance of building 1. 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 urban fill containing wood, ash,
brick, slag etc. A 6 - 12" thick layer of ¾" crushed stone was placed and graded. The sub grade and
surface of the stone was compacted utilizing the heavy plate compactor exhibiting stable/firm
conditions. The gravel structural fill over burden was re used as backfill against the perimeter
foundation. The material was placed in a single 12 - 16" thick lift and compacted utilizing the wacker
plate compactor exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
