You must dig the earth surrounding your site boundary to build size stone masonry work. This work is usually done by manual labourers, not with JCB.
If you try to do it with the JCB, the proper size won’t come, and the chances of pillars/footing damage will be there.
Once size stone masonry work is done, it’s time for you to fill the soil back inside your site.
This filling back soil again is called soil backfilling.
A few things you need to remember:
Excavation or digging of the earth is done after doing the site marking process.
As per the engineer’s plan, you need to excavate the earth for sump construction and pillar standing.
Excavation is usually done with the help of JCB.
Some of them prefer to use a manual labour process. If you choose to go with fully manual process, then it will get costly for you.
I recommend going with both JCB and manual methods. You will understand why in this article later.
Yesterday, an interesting thing happened while I was going on an AUTO to take my dad’s honda shine bike from the Honda service center.
I booked Ola Auto to reach the service center.
While traveling, the auto driver and I started casually speaking…
The auto driver asked – “Sir, which payment method did you choose?”
I Answered, “Cash.”
The site leveling particularly needed for the foundation. It is the process of flattening existing slopes. Normally site leveling requires excavation and movement of the earth from a higher elevation to lower elevation.
