Structure context
Define foundation type, load, allowable settlement and following construction activity.
Foundation settlement planning
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
Foundation settlement control begins with the structure load, ground investigation and required performance before an equipment route is selected.
CMG equipment discussion supports the planning conversation; it does not replace foundation design or acceptance.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Ground and method
Review ground information and compare impact, hydraulic or other project-selected ground-treatment routes.
Monitoring
Process monitoring can document work; project testing determines acceptance.
Handover
The treated area is released only after the project-defined inspection or testing route.
Evidence boundary
A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.
CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.
- Do not infer a treatment depth from equipment category.
- Do not use machine records as foundation acceptance.
- Review adjacent structures and utilities before ground treatment.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Structure and foundation information
- Ground investigation and material history
- Allowable settlement or performance objective
- Work area and access
- Acceptance criteria and authority
Decision record
Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.
Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.

Further questions for the project team.
Can CMG guarantee settlement control?
No. Foundation performance depends on project design, ground conditions and acceptance.
What equipment discussion is relevant?
Impact roller or hydraulic compaction routes can be discussed after project inputs are reviewed.
What should the RFQ include?
Structure, foundation, ground information, work area, access and acceptance requirements.
How is the outcome verified?
By the responsible foundation engineering process.
