Imported Fill — Questions Before Mobilisation
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
Machine Before - Dugong - Machine After
The machine before Dugong determines what material arrives; the machine after Dugong determines what surface must leave. An excavator can expose formation, a loader can deliver a stockpile, and a roller can compact the placed layer. The scraper's role is bounded by those interfaces.
Before moving material
Identify the upstream operation and its remaining defects.
Receiving operation and checks
Hand over the measured surface to compaction, cultivation, paving or turf preparation. Record which operation owns levels, materials and final acceptance.
The workflow can include Dugong where suitable; it does not assume Dugong replaces adjacent equipment.

Rough earthworks may still contain broad quantity errors, loose fill and unresolved drainage. Fine trimming should begin only after the larger formation is understood.
Before moving material
Survey the bulk surface and identify unsuitable or unaccepted areas.
Receiving operation and checks
Verify the corrected formation before the next layer. Check areas where bulk machines turned, stockpiled or discharged material.
A finish pass cannot establish the suitability of buried fill.

Misplaced fill may be in the wrong location, wrong layer or wrong volume state. Before relocating it, establish whether it is suitable for the new receiving area.
Before moving material
Identify fill source, condition and intended destination.
Receiving operation and checks
Place the material in the required arrangement and verify the receiving surface. Record where the fill came from and where it went.
Unknown or unsuitable fill should not be spread for convenience.
