I have come to a conclusion that the $15,000.00 paid to the Florida Testing & Environmental Inc., by residents, for 72 core samples in which only 3 samples prove to fail by just a very small margin was just a waste of good money. The margin was so small that I feel in a court of law the judge will dismiss the case. The field density test was done by dropping a 140lb hammer 30 inches and also drilling six feet deep holes to check the total thickness of each component and stabilized subbase. The standard required for passing is 1 1/2 inches of asphaltic of concrete surface course, 6 inches of base course, and 8 inches of stabilized subgrade with a total design structural of 2.18. The total high was 2.87 with a total low of 2.00 giving a average of 2.37 which exceeds the required structural design.
All those residents got was a 90 page pavement evaluation report done on August 4, 2008 of core samples done at Lake Ashton only .04% failed and 99.7% passed.
