Determine the approximate quantity and types of equipment by specific tasks that you will use on this project, and brief schedule to meet the given deadline. You are asked to build an earth dam 200 ft high above ground level, and has a 20ft wide width and 2:1 (H:V) side slopes. Using 22,000,000 cubic yards of clay and 4,000,000 cubic yards of clean sand all compacted to 95% of maximum density based on ASTM D698. (The sand functions as a drain to control water flow through the dam.) 30ft of wet sand below ground level needs to be removed and replaced with compacted clay depth of 30 ft and excavation width avg 100 ft. Clay is brought from 3 miles distance from the project at elevation of 100 ft below project level. Sand is from 17 miles away 300ft below project level. Project needs to be completed in 750 days
