So, if you are a contractor and you do a job for an engineer, then you know that they will be very particular to the job that they want done, as well very critical on the job that you do. That being said if you can make an engineer happy, then I feel like you are doing something.
This job is a perfect example of that. Here we offered a final grade, as well as driveway with a drainage culvert installed. We also bid to put a select fill side with a 57 rock covered side that has the most drainage, and erosion.
We used the dirt, which was select fill, that was on site dug out from the septic tank hole for the final grade as well as for the drip edge on one side of the building. We also used that for the driveway and then had 25 tons of 1 1/2" screened crushed concrete in for the driveway, as well as 12 yards of 57 rock to top it all with for the fancy look. We installed a 12" by 20' black plastic culvert for drainage as well. I think it turned out very well, and to boot our engineer watched the whole process and gave his approval.
