Looking for somebody that might have a wild idea.
We are building a deep pit Cattlebarn. Their over digs on the pit are 5 feet wide, which put the backfill, which is approximately 7 feet from the bottom of the pit to Top of dirt underneath the bunk row and apron where the feed tractor will be driving.
My issue is how you can pack a 5 foot wide area 7 feet deep that is directly next to a freshly poured pit wall, as there is not enough width for Machinery to run on it obviously.
My gut reaction is one of those roller Packers that you put on an excavator which we conveniently do not own, and like hell they’re going to let us over dig it in a way that allows us to fit machinery in there to get real compaction.
Edit: Soil type likely a fine Sandy clay mixture, there were no soil samples taken.
