Limitations: The presence of our field representative at the site is to provide our client with a source of professional advice, opinions, and recommendations based upon the field representative’s observations and testing of the contractor’s work. Our services do not include supervision or direction of the contractor, their employees, or agents. Geotechnical recommendations for
obtaining project objectives may be made by our representatives; however, direction of the actual work should come from the owner or contractor, as appropriate. The contractor is responsible
for complying with the contract documents at all times, regardless of the presence of our field representative. Jobsite safety, including compliance with all applicable state or federal regulations,
is the sole responsibility of the contractor. The observations, recommendations, and conclusions provided in this field report are preliminary until reviewed by the ESNW project manager.
ESNW rep was onsite to observe vault excavation and road over excavation and grading.
Vault Excavation
ESNW rep observed the contractor excavating the Northwest corner of the site, for proposed stormwater
vault. Rep observed the contractor excavating into native brown inter bedded sand with gravel, and silt
as-depth. ESNW rep observed the eastern and southern edges of the excavation to have an exposed
height of approximately 20 feet cut to a temporary 1H:1V slope inclination. The west side of the
excavation was observed to have exposed overall heights ranging between approximately 7 to 10 feet
(or less). The north portion of the excavation was observed to have exposed overall heights ranging
between approximately 10 feet at the west and 20 feet to the east (see photo attached).
Tension cracking was identified above the East/SE portion of the excavation. The tension cracks were
reported to GBI PM. ESNW rep observed the contractor removing the excess soil mass on the top of the
slope. ESNW will continue to monitor daily.
ESNW rep observed the contractor placing quarry spalls at the base of the SE facing slope in the vault
excavation. Geotextile nonwoven fabric was placed on top of the spalls and soil was placed on the fabric
to control the movement of the slope.
ESNW rep will return daily to observe stability of the slopes. It is the responsibility of the contractor to
perform all necessary safety measures in accordance with state and federal regulations.
Roadway Subgrade
While onsite, ESNW rep observed the contractor over excavating approximately 2’ in depth in alley 3.
Rep probed the base of the excavation with a ½” steel T-probe and observed dense soil conditions,
suitable for fabric, quarry spalls, and approximately a foot of 1 ¼” minus crushed rock.
