Fill Dirt
Today we were moving fill dirt around in the east Cobb area. King wall company is building a wall off of horseshoe knoll and we are hauling the dirt for them to backfill the wall with. Topsoil would not be a good fit in this area as the topsoil holds water and the weight would eventually cause the wall to fail. So what makes good fill dirt? Usually a red Georgia clay that is free of any roots is best. Different types of fill dirt can be used. On this particular job they have a soil engineer onsite testing the soil as it is bein placed.
Demolition
This week we are on a demolition job. We are removing approximately 5500 sq ft of concrete. We are doing this job for company that does a lot of concrete work, however they do not do any of the demolition service themselves. They sub all the workout. The heavy rain showers this week have definitely put a dent in our progress this week. Luckily as soon as the showers pass we should be able to get back to work. If it had been a grading job we may be sitting for a couple of days while the job dries out. Topsoil, 57’s, crusher run, 34’s, fill dirt
