What happens here
As layers of soil are added to the pool basin, they must be properly compacted. The video discusses the importance of achieving specific Proctor density levels, usually around 95% for residential backyards and 97% for commercial sites, to ensure stability. Over-compaction in residential settings, especially where gardens or grass are desired, can make the soil too dense, preventing water penetration and plant growth. The CTL is used to drive over and compact the soil layers evenly.
Goal: Compact each layer of fill soil to the appropriate Proctor density to ensure stability and prevent future settlement, adjusting for site-specific needs.
