Backfill and reclamation RIC guide
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
RIC may be considered for backfill or reclaimed-land work where material type, placement history, water condition and project acceptance can be documented.
This guide connects the keyword to a structured RFQ for granular fill and reclamation projects.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Work area
Define zones, access, water or logistics interfaces and equipment movement plan.
Equipment route
Review RIC attachment or hydraulic compaction configuration with carrier and site requirements.
Verification
Project inspection or testing determines acceptance and release.
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 treat all reclaimed fill as the same.
- Do not infer a universal treatment depth.
- Review water, settlement or access changes with the responsible team.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Fill source and material history
- Work zones and access
- Water or settlement constraints
- Available carrier equipment
- Acceptance and programme requirements
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.
Inputs to evidence
- Fill source and material history
- Work zones and access
- Water or settlement constraints
- Available carrier equipment
Decision to make
- Material context
- Work area
- Equipment route
Documents to request
- Source-matched model specification and configuration
- Operating and maintenance guidance for the quoted scope
- Project-specific verification and handover requirements

Further questions for the project team.
Can RIC be used for reclamation?
It may be assessed where material, access and acceptance requirements can be documented.
What reclamation information is needed?
Fill source, material, moisture, work area, access and acceptance route.
Which carrier is suitable?
The carrier is selected from site access, available equipment and project requirements.
How is reclaimed land released?
Through the project-defined inspection or testing process.
