Small dozer forming soil stockpile

In site construction, as in construction development, a soil stockpile is formed with soil excavated to provide proper building elevations. Stockpiled soil is later replaced to contour the surface to the desired grade, or the material is used for reclamation/restoration of the region following the removal of all roads and facilities.
