Thread: 1 rai how many landfill trucks are needed?

The wife was given paddy rice land from her father.
I would like to raise the land because it will no longer be used for rice planting.

Does anybody know how many landfill trucks to fill 1 rai (1600 sq meters)?
If I can find out how much landfill 1 truck could hold then I could estimate how many trucks it would take to do the job.

Hi Mike how long is a peace of string

If you 10 ton truck you have 7 m3.
check your length X Width X depth this will tell you how many m3 you need.

Depends on how high he wants to expand.

25-30 loads....??

^ about 10 times that.
320 is a fair estimate with short loaded trucks.

Paddies are a meter deep or thereabouts, so he needs a minimum of 1600 cubic meters, probably more depending.... 5 meters per truck or thereabouts.

specific gravity if the fill is wet 1.9 1900kgs to m3

I'm looking to raise the land by a 1 meter.
I think we paid 350 b a truck in the city.
My wife quoted a cheaper price for the country.
But, I don't know the size of the trucks, I think they are 6 wheels.

I like to thank all for the info..

i did 9 x 33 meters... that was 100 odd loads.. small ones.

6 wheeler takes about 10 m2 so you would need around 160 loads, maybe more as you do not know the ground in the paddy if it has water now? And you need a tractor to spread it. If you do this, check that they fill the trucks up. Sometimes they try to con you by not loading the truck to the brim. Beware also what kind of dirt you get. You do not want construction waste or a lot of big stones. Clay or sand? Depends on how you want to use the land later.
Think also that the fill will sink a bit so after a year, it will no longer be one meter high. Unless, of course, you compress it with a heavy machine but I doubt that is what you want.
