Footing excavation was completed for interior footings within the limits 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 existing loamy urban fill generally consisting of F - M sand, little gravel, little + silt containing wood, organic silt, ash, slag etc. A 6 - 12" thick layer of ¾" crushed stone was placed and graded. Mirafi filter fabric was placed between the sub grade and crushed stone footing base material. The surface of the stone was compacted utilizing the heavy plate compactor exhibiting stable/firm conditions. Plumbing utility trench backfilling was initiated within the WSW limits of building 2 (amenity space). The piping was covered in and backfilled using the same material, 1.5" reprocessed material from the Lorusso pit in Revere, MA. The shallow trench was backfilled placing 1 - 2 lifts of the aforementioned material. The first lift was compacted utilizing the 200Lb plate compactor due to minimal cover over the cast iron piping. The final lift or surface of the trench was compacted utilizing the Wacker ½ ton plate compactor exhibiting stable/firm conditions.
