Geotechnical Engineer – ECS Mid-Atlantic, LLC TerraSystems used a 15 ton weight dropped from heights of approximately 60 feet to compact the waste material. Locally-available silty sand and sandy silt was used for most of the crater backfill. An eight ton weight was used to “iron” the site after high-energy treatment. After completion of dynamic compaction, approximately 10 to 12 feet of structural fill was placed to raise the site to the desired final grade. The settlement of the site was monitored for several months. Post-construction monitoring indicated no detrimental settlement of the foundations or floor slabs. |
