There is a very interesting paradox regarding excavations, and backfilling..

If you accurately excavate a 10x10x10 space.. One would think you would need just 1000 CF to fill the hole... But if you get 1000CF of accurately measured fill for backfill .. it would be to much.... You cant compact/consolidate the fill to the same state as the material was in situ..

Trivial things you learn after 40 years in construction management and no help at all
