backfilling at low temperatures

backfilling at low temperatures

backfilling at low temperatures

(OP)
I have to excavate and backfill about 15000 m3 borrowpit sand. It has to be done during winter season and specs does not let us work below -5 Celcius. So I have to find out a way to keep the subgrade warm ready to go. Do you have any suggestions.

RE: backfilling at low temperatures

Where is your site located? Please describe the nature of the project.

RE: backfilling at low temperatures

A case history at a large western Canada mine.  They did borings of tailings dam and the log came out sandy ice!!!

Good question - give us more details and we'll go from there!
