About 18 trips of laterite soil used here and we are switching to sharp sand.

Working with a sloppy terrain is usually interesting

Attached pics is the benchmark level (4 course) that resulted to about 9 courses (pics 2) at the other end

Before I proceed, I must say this, if you are purchasing a land, please try as much as possible not to get one that’s on a sloppy ground.

That only can shot up your project (foundation cost) by 25%
