Plan the surface handover

BeforeIdentify fill source, condition and intended destination.
Work stageKeep different material classes separate and plan collection, haul and placement routes.
AfterPlace the material in the required arrangement and verify the receiving surface.

What to verify

Record where the fill came from and where it went.

Diagnosis should distinguish the visible symptom from its cause. Record whether the fault appeared after traffic, a water event, settlement or earlier earthworks. That history helps decide whether the response is a local surface correction, a drainage intervention or a more substantial investigation.

Scope and limits

Unknown or unsuitable fill should not be spread for convenience.
