Pre-site/Post-site Pre-site/Post-site AssessmentsAssessments
The most feasible method to restore site productivity is through a pre-site / post-site assessment process
By determining soil horizon depths, LFH (topsoil) depths, compaction hazard, etc. A construction and reclamation plan (including stripping and restoring the important soil layers, etc.) can be developed
Restoring the soil layers and topsoil will help alleviate many of the problems that contribute to a loss of productivity.
