Fill and compaction is continuing - here is a video showing the process and then the testing procedure. It is important that the fill material is compacted to a very hard amount because it will act as the foundation for the Clinic Building.
Fill and Compaction Process Over 2,160 truckloads of fill will be brought from a mine about 9 kilometers from the clinic site. A truckload is worth about $100 after it has been mined, loaded into a truck, hauled 9km, dumped, graded/leveled, culled for large rocks, watered, compacted several times with a vibrating compactor and then tested.
Testing Process
The fill will be checked using four different readings on the machine at each test to confirm that it is properly compacted. This will be done every 150 square meters or so, and with every lift or layer of material - so the entire site will be tested six more times over the next few weeks as this process continues building the elevation and thickness of this material.
