2、ocated in large vaults around the flight line. The requirement was to backfill these vaults with earthen materials, and remove the top of the vaults, and pave flush around them for minimal impact to the flight line area. The problems of doing this with “dirt“ included working down in deep confined s
3、paces, substandard compaction, hazards and probabilities of using power compactors around critical facility pressurized piping, and possible pipe damage resulting in flooding and drowning hazards. The simple solution arrived at was to “pour“ in pea gravel, that flowed in like water and achieved near
4、100% compaction.Lesson(s) Learned: Pea gravel is the best material for backfill with instant compaction in hazardous or confined spaces.Recommendation(s): Consider and use pea gravel for backfill in hazardous or confined spaces.
