Carrying Action — Video Evidence Required
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.
Establish Required Surface
Establishing the required surface converts a desired use into a construction brief. It should name geometry, layer roles and evidence needed before the next operation.
Before moving material
Identify the receiving operation and relevant design inputs.
Receiving operation and checks
Issue a coordinated brief to the grading and downstream teams. Check interfaces with buildings, roads, drains and neighbouring work.
An illustrative concept is not a construction specification.
Read the complete Establish Required Surface guideWhat Verification Evidence Proves
Verification evidence should answer the acceptance question asked. Elevation measurements establish geometry; material records and relevant tests address layer condition. Neither should be silently substituted for the other.
Before moving material
Define the checks needed for the finished purpose.
Receiving operation and checks
Hand over accepted areas and clearly identify exceptions. Check that the evidence concerns the same layer and work zone.
An instrument display is not a complete acceptance record.

Dugong's contained-carry role becomes relevant when soil must reach a defined receiving area rather than remain distributed along a dragging pass. Local smoothing may still suit a simpler implement.
Before moving material
Map material distance and quantity.
Receiving operation and checks
Check the receiving surface against the job brief. Use a timed field trial with the intended combination.
No claim is made that carrying is the best method for every maintenance job.

Use this checklist to turn the scenario into a specific brief. Retain the design revision and agree who accepts each completed layer.
Checklist ticks apply only while this page is open. Include the completed brief in your project records.
