Soils Testing

Service Description

Our technician will perform field density testing on-site as directed by the client, following nuclear density gauge procedures. Tests will be conducted at depths and locations chosen by the technician. When possible, the contractor will be notified on-site of the compaction test results at the time of testing. Proctor moisture-density relationships will be prepared for major fill materials to establish maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. The materials will be classified using grain size analysis and Atterberg Limits. Laboratory testing will be conducted as we deem appropriate or as requested by the client to evaluate the conformance of fill materials with project specifications. During fill observation and testing, daily reports summarizing the location, depth, and results of field density testing will be prepared. The reports will also summarize the conditions observed, the equipment being used by the contractor to construct fills, and the contractor's progress and procedures when appropriate.
