This document is a compaction testing inspection checklist for the North Gas Compression Plants Pipelines project. It lists 13 acceptance criteria for compaction testing, referencing Saudi Aramco and ASTM standards. Key requirements include using an approved independent testing agency, performing modified Proctor tests for each fill material, achieving minimum densities of 90% under footings and 70% for cohesionless soils, and performing field density tests at regular intervals.

Note: To verify that the area/ material being inspected was tested by SA approved third party testing agency, the test results attached with this RFI shall be verified by the relevant PID inspection unit if copy of the test results had been received directly from the third party lab. If not available in the PID Inspection Unit, the inspector shall contact the third party laboratory representative and request for an explanation. If the explanation is not reasonable, NCR shall be issued to the third party lab through the Batch Plant and Civil Testing Group.
Contractor's testing agency shall be a Saudi ARAMCO-approved SAES-A-114
A1 independent civil testing agency. Sec. 5.1.1
One Modified Proctor Test per ASTM D1557 with corresponding Proctor SAES-A-114 A2 curve shall be performed for each type of fill material or where there is a Sec. 6.4.1.1 change in the type or the source of material.
For cohesionless free draining soils, ASTM D4253 Maximum Index
Density and Unit Weight of Soils Using a Vibratory Table and ASTM D4254 Minimum Index Density and Unit Weight of Soil and Calculation of SAES-A-114 A3 Relative Density shall also be performed for each type of cohesionless, Sec. 6.4.1.1 free draining material or where there is a change in the type or the source of material..
In-place density shall be determined using one of the following:
Acceptance testing of in-place density and moisture content (field density
testing) on compacted fill will be performed at the following rates: 1. Under all foundations - one test every 1077 ft² (100 m²) of each lift. 2. Under area paving - one test every 2153 ft² (200 m²) of each lift. SAES-A-114 A5 3. Road base and sub-base - one test every 2153 ft² (200 m²) of base or Sec. 6.4.2.3 sub-base. 4. Backfill of trenches - one test for every 50 linear ft (15 m) of each lift. 5. General fill - one test every 5382 ft² (500 m²) of each lift.
As a minimum, at least one in-place density test must be performed on
SAES-A-114 A6 every lift of fill and further placement shall not be allowed until the required Sec. 6.4.2.4 density has been achieved.
Nuclear density gauges, when used, shall have a valid calibration SAES-A-114 A7 certificate per the requirement of ASTM D6938, Sec. 8. Sec. 3.2
Saudi Aramco: Company General Use
Fill or backfill placed beneath footings, grade beams, mats, buildings or SAES-A-114 A8 process areas shall be compacted to at least 90% of the maximum Sec. 6.3.6.1 Modified Proctor density as determined by ASTM D1557.

For cohesionless free draining soils, 70% relative density as determined
SAES-A-114 A9 by ASTM D4253 and ASTM D4254 shall be achieved under footings, Sec. 6.3.6.4 grade beams, mats, buildings or process areas.
Under foundations with static loads over 320kPa and foundations for vibrating or heavy machinery and pavements, 85% of relative density SAES-A-114 A10 (ASTM D4253/ASTM D4254) for cohesionless soils or 95% of of the Sec. 6.3.6.2 maximum density as determined by ASTM D1557 for cohesive materials.
When the backfill material cannot clearly be classified as cohesive or
SAES-A-114 A11 cohesionless both relative density and Proctor density tests must be Sec. 6.4.1.1 performed. The backfill shall then be compacted to the greater density.
The compaction requirement for base coarse shall not be less than 98% SAES-Q-006 A12 of the maximum laboratory dry density as determined by ASTM D1557 or Sec. 5.2.2.2 AASHTO T180..
The compaction requirement for subbase shall not be less than 95% of SAES-Q-006 A13 the maximum laboratory dry density as determined by ASTM D1557 or Sec. 5.2.2.2 AASHTO T180..
Compacted surfaces of fill and backfill shall be finish graded to the cross SAES-A-114 A14 sections, lines, grades, and elevations as indicated on the drawings. Sec. 6.3.7
The depth of the test holes shall be no greater than 300mm (12 inches) SAES-A-114 A15 deep. (ASTM D 2922, Sec. 1.1) Sec. 6.4.2
