We want to move huge amount of soil ( around 2000 cubic m)from over a specific area in a private land and dump those on a different area within the same region. I really appreciate your geotechnical key points/inputs that should be considered in this operation.

Unloading from area and loading in another area
- Thread starter soil1999
- Start date
Not much to go on - what do you want to do with it? What ramifications would filling "another area" cause? Soil conditions? Not only from geotechnical point of view - but what about environmental? Any contaminants in the soil you are moving? Etc. 2000 m3 is "not" a huge amount of material. I was once involved with a million m3 in a 800 m stretch of new highway . . . . that was fairly large.
BigH I agree that 2,000m3 is not a huge amount - perhaps 200 trucks. I don't think there are many considerations, just get a machine to push the material up an a backhoe to load onto the trucks. Then at the tipping area another machine is needed to move the tipped heaps into the final stockpile.
Will the repositioned soil need to be compacted in lifts for some near future use? A pile of uncompacted soil can cost someone a lot of money in the future.
