problem: you’re ready to go to work, but you
can’t get onto the site because of poor site
conditions or bad weather. The site is wet
and sloppy, so you can’t start the job.

for the site to dry. The result – additional
costs and scheduling problems, especially
if your equipment is needed elsewhere.

import fill, but that is expensive. You can try
to lay down a layer of fabric and aggregate
fill to help you get onto the site, but if the
soil is too soft, installation may be
impossible. What do you do?

fill thickness, it hardly seems worth it to
have used them in the first place. Plus,
