Fill Sand is a product made to no set specification limits. The user is encouraged to inspect the material prior to purchase to ensure that the product will meet the requirements of the specific project or application.

 

General Usage Guide:  
  
The Fill Sand should be placed as required depending upon ground conditions and design loadings, in lifts not exceeding 8” (200mm).  Prior to the placement of any material, the grade should be compacted and trimmed to the design density & elevations and be free of any standing water and not in a frozen condition.  Fill sand should be compacted at optimum moisture content to 95%-100% relative density or to the compaction level as specified in the design plans.
