Compacted Soils Method ®-6936 Disclaimer
Pursuant to your request, Federal Engineering &Testing, Inc. (FET) has performed a compaction test at the referenced project
on the reverse side. The purpose of our test was to determine the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material only. In
no way shall a compaction test replace a soil bearing capacity determination. A soil boring test must be performed by the client
prior to construction to verify underlying subsoil conditions. Our scope of services only included testing the top 12" of the pool
bottom pad material. FET was not contracted to perform supervision of the pool pad preparation or excavation to verify if
undermining of the building foundation has occurred. This testing of the fill material does not include an analysis of the
underlying soil conditions and materials to determine if they are capable of supporting the proposed structure without
settlement. This density compaction test does not warranty any underlying soil materials or conditions below the tested top
12" of material. If no soil borings have been performed in the location of the proposed structure, we recommend performing
soil borings below all foundation areas of the proposed structure to verify the underlying soil conditions.
Environmental analysis of the soil materials is not part of the scope of services. If environmental analysis of the soils is
required, we can provide a proposal for performing an environmental analysis of the soil materials. The scope of services is
for determination of the degree of compaction of the tested layer of material only. No other analysis is implied or warranted.
Job project specifications were not available at the time the work was performed. Determination of the pass/fail compaction
results are based on current common industry requirements of 95% of the ASTM D-1557 standard for building and pool
foundations. If different specifications are required, Federal Engineering &Testing, Inc. shall be notified.
Our findings are relative to the date and areas of our site work and should not be relied upon to represent conditions on other
areas of the site or other dates. Any subsequent site disturbances due to water erosion, rain, construction activities,
excavations, overgrown vegetation, traffic and other disturbances will void this test and the site must be re-compacted and re-
tested prior to construction.
As a mutual protection to clients, the public and ourselves, all reports are submitted as the confidential property of our client
and authorization for use, publication of statements, conclusions or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved our
reports is reserved pending our written approval.
It has been a pleasure working with you and look forward to do so in the near future.
