To determine if the fill was properly compacted on the pad to a depth of 3 feet, we performed nucleardensity
tests on the top two feet. To estimate the soil density below a depth of 2 feet we used a Static Cone
Penetrometer. During the tests, a shaft with a conical point is pushed through soil and the soil resistance
measured on a calibrated gauge. After the soil resistance is measured, the hole is advanced with a hand -auger in
1-foot increments to permit a continuation of measurement of density versus depth. Test Results:
Nuclear density tests performed on the top 2 feet indicates the compaction exceeds the project specifications of
95% (ASTM 1557). Static Cone Penetrometer readings indicate the compacted backfill
below 2 feet are generally well compacted to a depth of 3 feet.
Based on the nuclear density tests and Static Cone Penetrometer readings, it appears the fill on the house pad
was properly compacted.
