In the absence of Host Nation requirements and geotechnical recommendations, fill and backfill must be placed in layers of 20 centimeters loose thickness and compacted to a minimum 95% of the maximum dry density as determined by Host Nation test method equivalent to ASTM D-1557 (Modified Proctor test). Provide density tests on all lifts at a frequency of 1 test per 40 square meters for foundations and parking, and 1 test per 30 meters of road and utility trench. Round up to nearest whole number (i.e. a 25 square meter foundation requires one test). The location of all tests must be selected by the Contractor’s geotechnical engineer, and copies of all test results must be furnished to the KO. All structure foundation excavations must be inspected and approved by the Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer prior to placing concrete. Repair earthwork areas as recommended by the Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer, and approved by the KO.

2.9.8 ENGINEERED SOIL SUPPORT SYSTEMS
