How to Choose the Right Engineered Fill Contractor or Engineered Flowable Fill Contractor

Choosing the right engineered fill contractor is an important decision. The installation of engineered flowable fill is a science. But there is also an art to the process. Engineered fill projects normally require the movement of tons of fill material. If done properly, the engineered fill project goes off without a hitch. If there is a problem, the best case scenario is expensive rework will be required that could delay a job for weeks. In a worst-case scenario, there could be damage to the infrastructure of the project that would require expensive rework from multiple trades and months of delays.

Choosing the right contractor for your engineered fill project installation is an important decision. When considering a subcontractor, the following are key factors to consider:

• Experience – Make sure you choose a subcontractor that has experience performing jobs similar to your project. There is simply no substitute for experience.
• Trust – When things don’t go as planned, you need a company and a partner you trust to do the right thing.  Choose the right subcontractor and build a lasting relationship. 
• Equipment to do the Job Right – The installation of engineered fill requires specialized equipment and a significant capital investment. It is important to understand the type of engineered fill your subcontractor will be using and how they will install it.
