This report follows a site visit to observe/test the earthwork for: Footing trench excavation.
Pavement sub grade prep continued within proposed parking and roadway areas located at the North
side of building 1. The existing common fill was cut down to the required depth (24" below F.G. in
heavy duty traffic areas and 18" in standard duty traffic areas). Cuts were performed utilizing the
Deere 380 and 75 excavators and Deere bulldozer. In some areas, gravel base thickness was increased due
to the presence of frost or wet/softened sub grade soils. The exposed sub grade bearing stratum is
previously placed onsite generated common fill (urban fill) generally consisting of F - C sand, some
gravel little silt with minor amounts of various debris such as wood, ash, glass, coal, cinders Etc.
The exposed sub grade is stable and compact. The material used as pavement base is 1.5" reprocessed
material from the Caruso Pit in Revere, MA. A layer of bi axial geogrid was placed between the sub
grade and pavement base course material. The surface of the gravel base was compacted utilizing the IR
10 ton drum roller exhibiting stable/firm conditions. Work in this area remained incomplete on this
date.
