Hello everyone,
We are building a house on a slab foundation without a basement. According to the soil report, we need to excavate about 1.50 m (5 feet) of soil because there are depressions at that depth which negatively affect load-bearing capacity. The building footprint is approximately 100 sq m (1,076 sq ft). Can you advise if I can store the resulting excavation of 150 cubic meters (5,296 cubic feet) on my property, or will the pile be too large? The plot size is around 600 sq m (6,458 sq ft). The soil is intended to be used for backfilling and spreading across the property.
Thanks and best regards
