and secure.
• Stockpile Preparation: Ensure the stockpile is accessible
10.2 Screening Process
• Loading the soil using excavator screening bucket or Wheelloader (Showel)
• Screening will be done by either of the following:

RLLPGBP-1-19-0011 Rev. A Page 9 of 25
METHOD STATEMENT FOR EXCAVATED MATERIAL SCREENING
DOC NO: RLLPGBP-1-19-0011 REV. A
shall be carried out field to establish the suitability of excavated material for filling

none of the individual tests shall fall below the required target by more than 2
percent points.
• If any individual tests fall below the target by more than 2 percent points, the area
where it is sampled from shall be re-compacted and tested again.
• If the average falls below the minimum required, the area shall be re-compacted
properly.
• Testing after re-compacting shall yield the target else the whole layer shall be
scarified wetted and compacted again or removed as determined by the QC
