Dear Keith Pitts,
This final report presents the results of compaction testing performed for the subject
project. We understand mass grading and initial site grading at the project site were
previously performed under observation by others. Observation and testing for this
project was performed for tenant improvements including pavements, utility trench
backfills, curb & gutters, a generator pad, and loading dock levelers. Compaction
tests were taken on the subject improvements on a periodic basis, as directed by
your field representative during the period of July 1st, 2021, through April 15th, 2022.
A field daily report was prepared by our soil’s technicians for each day of testing and
a copy was provided to the jobsite superintendent.
Field density testing was performed by first probing with T-handle steel probe, and
then using direct transmission nuclear methods, ASTM D6938/D2950. The maximum
density – optimum moisture relationship for the soil was established by our
laboratory in accordance with ASTM D1557 test methods. In-place density tests
indicated relative compaction was achieved in general conformance with the project
specifications and referenced geotechnical report.

Where density testing indicated failing results, the areas were reworked until passing tests
were achieved.
Approximate locations of in-place density test are presented in Figure 1. Appendix A presents
the results of laboratory testing performed. Appendix B presents the results of field density
tests performed. This report does not constitute certification of compaction of the subject
improvements. We have performed the tests, as previously described, in accordance to
generally accepted soil testing practices. No other warranty, express or implied, is made.
MTGL, Inc. appreciates this opportunity to be of continued service to you on this project.
Should you have any questions regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact us at
your convenience.
Respectfully Submitted,
MTGL, Inc.
