#5


I returned to the Buckeye self storage job site to test the seconded foot of fill placed. In addition to the Buckeye self storage job I was given two more job sites to visit.  After observing and testing the compacted fill placed on the Buckeye self storage job site I was off to my next two site visits. My next job sites were in Gilbert. I had to pick up concrete samples, and bring the back to the lab. The concrete samples are cast to test the strength of the concrete. The concrete samples are stored in the lab in a wet room, and broke  7, and 28 days after they were cast. If the 28 day break does not meet the designed strength then a 56 day break is performed. My work load is begging to increase at a moderate pace. The rest of my week will conclude with the same responsibilities as I had today.

  1. It sounds like you are taking on a great responsibility for just having taken on the job. We have a lot of people working in the field in my office and constant testing is an important aspect of what many of them do to make certain projects are within environmental compliance. Good luck with what you are doing. It sounds very interesting.
