Prior to placement, the subgrade <br />surface was inspected and accepted by an AMEC field representative. Approximately 19,616 <br />square feet of geogrid was placed and accepted by an AMEC field representative prior to select <br />structural fill placement. Approximately 470 cubic yards of select structural fill was then placed <br />over the geogrid in one 6-inch compacted lifts (over first and second layer) and one 1-foot <br />compacted lift (over third layer). Prior to compaction the select structural fill material was <br />moisture conditioned using a CAT 773 water-truck. Compaction of the select structural fill was <br />then performed using a 10-ton smooth drum compactor using the static method. Five nuclear <br />density tests were performed with results passing. Moisture-density relations were performed in <br />accordance with ASTM D698-07. <br />Remediation of Underground Working #3012 continued backfilling the working with structural <br />fill. Structural fill was placed in the working using a CAT 345 excavator and the excavator bucket <br />was used for compaction until the area was safe to use a 10-ton vibratory smooth drum compactor <br />passing over the entire surface at least four times. The material was moisture conditioned (when <br />necessary) using a CAT 773 water-truck. When the area was safe, the CAT 345 excavator cleaned <br />previously placed temporary fill from the remaining portion to the northwest. This section of the <br />working was inspected by AMEC representatives and the entire working was found to be <br />competent rock. John Lupo (AMEC Certifying Engineer) made the decision that concrete was not <br />necessary in this portion of the working. This portion of the working was then backfilled with <br />VLF Weekly Report WE 04.10.10.13
