  5. This Training is a Very Short Version of the Following: Grade Technician – 4 days Earthwork Design – 1 day Storm & Culvert Pipe – 1 day Pile Driving Training – ½ day Erosion Control Training – ½ day SoilPresent General Knowledge of Proper Earthwork and Culvert Pipe Construction and Inspection Not intended to take the place of the Soil Engineer

  6. Training Outline • General Soil Knowledge • Design • Construction • Walls, Box Culverts, Bridges • Culvert Pipes and Storm Sewers • Erosion Control

  7. General Soil Knowledge 1. Sand, Silt, Clay, Rock, Marsh, Topsoil 2. Texture, Grain size, Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit 3. Moisture and Density Relationship

  8. Design • What do I do with this Soils Report? • How do I Compute Earthwork? • What do I do with Topsoil, Marsh and Rock? • 4. The Design Group Index (DGI) and Structure Support Value (SSV) • Excavation Below Subgrade (EBS) • 6. Sudgrade Improvement

  9. Construction • What type of soils am I dealing with? • Borrow Source. • Standard Compaction or Quality Management Program • Embankment Construction (lifts, compaction, moisture) • Subgrade Inspection (when to EBS, require soil drying) • Accepting the Sugrade (Ready for Gravel?) • 7.
