Compacted Soils Method D-6938 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 subsoil conditions. Our scope of services only included testing the top
12" of added fill material. FET was not contracted to perform supervision of the building pad preparation. This testing of the
added fill material does not include an analysis of the underlying soil 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 inches 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 foundations
and 98% of the AASHTO T-180 standard for paved areas such as roadways and parking lots. If different specifications are
required, Federal Engineering & Testing,lnc. 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 or dates. Any subsequent site disturbances due to water erosion, rain waters, 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 are the confidential property of clients
and authorization for use, publication! of statements, conclusions or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved
pending written approval.
It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing so in the,near future.
