Landfill Phitsanulok

Can anyone suggest a company who landfill for housing.


Even a phone number of a company who do it would be appreciated

Been struggling so far getting quotes

Thanks in advance for any positive feedback

Landfill with what? You don't come across well.

You are as your avatar says.........an ass

whatever is used in the soil ponds in area is what would be used unless you want someone to bring dump trucks full of soil from Bangkok? DUH!!!!

If you are going to be using the land for building on you want to fill with fairly "rocky" earth, drive around, sure you will see trucks hauling dirt, I have just come in and saw at least six hauling dirt to different locations, follow them and do a deal?

Sorry I didn't realise English isn't your first language.

Tanlic,hmm define landfill?

If you can't find a rubbish tip, ask your partner to find soil.

I think you owe Pragmatic an apology:)

Caveat.
At least 3-4 months settling required.
Depending on the season.

I'd go 2 years settlement. 1 year if compacted whilst being back filled. Best build on virgin land.

Sorry to disagree with this statement but I think it is one of those urban myths that circulate with no connection to reality.
If you build "over" fill and make sure your footings are dug down to and below the original soil then there does not need to be any "waiting time to settle"

I am trying to be nice and civil but I would have preffered to say will be left unsaid.

Quite obvious really that if you dig down to the original virgin land you have no need to worry about as much waiting time as if you'd build on a slab. Dunno why yer getting your knickers in a twist. Each to their own as to how they'd do things but the guy asked for assistance and I provided how I was taught to do things. I was taught 3 passes with a compacter for every 100 mm of backfil soil.



Soil compaction: Why it is important in construction?

Landfilled on the Monday on the Thusday the backhoe dug 34 holes for footing 1.6m deep 1.2 x 1.2 footings and not a single problem

Thais do allow land to settle if they want to build cheaply, By simply laying a concrete slab on top if the hardened ground above rain water level

On this project we will be piling within days 22cm x 22cm 7 meters long so landfill needs zero time to allow us to build.

I didn't tell you to wait 2 years. I said 'I'd wait 2 years' and I stand by that if it's building on landfill. That reply was initially aimed at Jeff not you. So keep yer shirt on. Would have helped if you'd stated in your first post what you stated in post #12. Have a nice build. :)

I do trust that you gentlemen understand the traditional rhymes and reasons for the commonplace uplifting of ground prior to building.
Has little to do with the general logistics of the build itself, but more of a safety feature for high water [which can be common].

There are numerous instances where the landfill nonsense isn't required/practiced - business and residential structures - as their properties and areas are not historically inundated with the possibilities of flooding.

i got some phone numbers for diggers and dirt trucks asking around at the local hardware store's. I heard around your place if you need around a 100 trucks it is 350 to 400 baht a truck, but this depends on a few factors as most people here are aware of this fact!!

For filling up my land I went to the local hardware stores for phone numbers. make sure before you call what kind of dirt you want(red, black, rocks or clean no roots ect.)

You have no need to be sorry OOTAI, Traditionally Thais would fill land and leave it for long periods of time then build on a concrete slab, 90% of the time a few footings and they never have a problem but I saw one 2 years ago where the back of the house separated from the front due to subsiding........... As you say the footing or piles hold a house up not landfill which is really to prevent flooding in most cases.......
