Project Statistics: ~15,665m2. Volume of material moved ~6,975m3. The Foley Pit was a long linear pit face with a number of smaller pits within the area of work. This made it hard to observe the entire project from any one spot. To fit in with adjacent land uses the site was graded to accommodate a grazing pasture where a gentle grade was of paramount importance. Extensive review of the site with the construction operator and landowner were completed to review the project parameters and discuss any concerns that they may have. Daily visits-walking the site and discussing grading objectives and materials management ensured the desired overall grade was achieved while ensuring organic soils were effectively utilized. Hydroseed material and rates were tweaked in consultation with the sub-contractor completing the work, which led to very quick seed germination. Despite a series of very heavy late season downpours, grasses had established and stabilized the topography with only minor rills being able to impact the site, rather than washouts that would require repair.
