Using Fill
When preparing for a flat base to construct a footing system on. Sometimes it is necessary to import the fill to get the base level up to the required height.
In this case, a non-cranial fill must be used, such as crushed rock ,stone dust sand, or any other non-granules fill, which is available. non-cranial fill means a soil that will not react with moisture .In some cases filll that you have used a need to be controlled and compacted at every 100mm layers before construction of slab can take place with a wacker packer or heavy roller.
Truck loads of fill will be delivered to site and spread around with a bob cat.
