Common use of Laboratory Testing Clause in Contracts

Laboratory Testing. The project engineer will review field data and assign laboratory tests to understand the engineering properties of various soil strata. Procedural standards noted below are for reference to methodology in general. In some cases, variations to methods may be applied because of local practice or professional judgment. Standards noted below include reference to other, related standards. Such references are not necessarily applicable to describe the specific test performed. The anticipated laboratory testing may include the following: • ASTM D2216 Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water (Moisture) Content of Soil and Rock by Mass • ASTM D4318 Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils • ASTM D1140 Standard Test Methods for amount of materials in soils finer than the No. 200 Sieve • ASTM D2166/D2166M Standard Test Method for Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cohesive Soil • ASTM D7263 Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Density and Unit Weight of Soil Specimens The laboratory testing program includes examination of soil samples by an engineer. Based on the results of our field and laboratory programs, we will describe and classify soil samples in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS)
