To Whom it may concern,
As requested, we tested the compacted fill for the House.
To determine if the fill was properly compacted on the pad to a depth of 4 feet, we performed nuclear density
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 4 feet.
Based on the nuclear density tests and Static Cone Penetrometer readings, it appears the fill on the house pad
was properly compacted.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
