TMSARCH - how would you know that the whole length of the pipeline was made ground?
Are you using borehole and trial hole data, taken every 100m to account for this information?
What if the material wasnt spread evenly?
What happens if the pipeline needs to bench the route and remove more soil than the topsoil strip?
Its not that cut and dried as you suggest I am afraid. There is always the potential for locating archaeological remains as we all know and the construction companys do not always follow their own method statements for the soil removal work. Therefore the safest option on 'large linear schemes' is to monitor the work.
Thoughts?
