Wheel Loader → Dugong → Road Base: Material Redistribution

Loader to Grading Workflow

A loader handles stockpiles and delivers material; the next grading operation distributes that material into the required surface. Avoid treating irregular loader deposits as a finished layer.

Before moving material

Confirm material class and the receiving layer's requirements.

Receiving operation and checks

Compact or prepare the layer for its next use. Check the depth and consistency between deposited loads.

Scraper loading and loader bucket handling are different capabilities.

Truck to Material Placement & Grading

Truck delivery is a material-supply event, not a surface acceptance event. Placement planning prevents large piles from blocking access or exceeding the available layer depth.

Before moving material

Confirm delivery material and safe discharge locations.

Receiving operation and checks

Shape and compact the layer before accepting the next delivery stage. Check receiving levels and reconcile delivered quantities with the volume state used.

A delivered loose volume is not a verified compacted volume.

Road-Base Preparation

Road-base preparation controls a specified aggregate layer, not ordinary topsoil. Even distribution and the right shape help the compaction and surfacing operations that follow.

Before moving material

Confirm aggregate type, accepted subgrade and planned layer thickness.

Receiving operation and checks

Compact and complete the project's layer-acceptance checks. Measure levels and thickness at representative locations and transitions.

Do not use a nominal scraper load count as evidence of compacted layer depth.

Record the job inputs

Use this checklist to turn the scenario into a specific brief. Retain the design revision and agree who accepts each completed layer.

• Existing condition, extent and the reason for intervention
• Required finished purpose, receiving operation and acceptance criteria
• Material type, layer role, source, receiving area and volume state
• Reference levels, datum, survey method and issued design revision
• Available tractor, implement configuration, travel route and turning space
• Checks before work, stopping points and evidence retained at handover

Checklist ticks apply only while this page is open. Include the completed brief in your project records.
