We had to blast the pad and sub-excavate six feet of blasted rock, the rock was then run through a crusher and the material was placed back into the pad. We also installed the ground grid before we completed our final lift of crushed material. Spriggs’ scope included the stormwater pipe around the pad and french drains as well.
