Ground Preparation and Compaction

[Music] We got a lot of black dirt hiding under here and we don't want to put a building pad on that. So, we're going to scrape some of that down till we find some non-organic material and then we'll bring in some decent stuff and we'll just tire pack it. Compression compaction. There's vibratory compaction and then there's compression compaction. vibratory compactions where you take a plate packer, jumping jack or sheep's foot and pound, physically pound the soil in. The secondary way to do it is compression compaction where you drive over it and you basically squeeze it together and you rely on the weight of the machine and then the tires. You can do it with tracks. You can do it fine with tracks. You just got to do it thinner lifts and more often, but you you're relying on the weight of the machine to compress that material together. you get to the end goal the same. It's just a matter of whichever one you want to use. Don't tell some Don't let somebody tell you you can't do one or the other because I have had contractors, general contractors, come up to me and tell me that you can't use compression compaction. You can don't buy don't buy it. People will try to tell you it doesn't work. It works just just the same. And Frankie's Mountain Post.
