More Info on the Placement Method of Hydraulic Sand Fill

Here is a little more information I have found regarding the density of sand fill used in reclaimed land projects.

  • As i discussed in my last post, the method of placing the sand fill has a direct impact on the relative density of the sand fill. In fact, the placement method is the most important characteristic in the relative density of a fill.
  • There are two catagories of hydraulic sand fill - above water, or below water fill.
  • Below water fill tends to be looser than above water fill.

More info to come soon! I have found some good sources, just in the process of reading through them. Stay tuned! Also, an updated list of sources will be up soon.
