Compaction & Backfilling Services in Dubai — Stone Beam

Why Stone Beam for Compaction in Dubai

Successful projects in Dubai depend on proper backfilling and compaction—to spec, to schedule, and to local authority requirements. Stone Beam delivers production-grade compaction that keeps pace with large excavation/haul programs (300+ trips/day and 13,500 m³/day) and scales higher on request. Our teams coordinate permits/NOCs, protect adjacent assets, and hand over full QA/QC packs (density, CBR, levels). Dubai works must follow local codes and utility conditions; we plan and execute accordingly.

What We Do

• Backfilling & Layered Compaction — Engineered lifts matched to material type and specification.
• Roads & ROW Reinstatement — Subgrade, sub-base & basecourse compaction for trenches and crossings. (ROW works need RTA eNOC/permits.)
• Basements & Foundations — Controlled fill around structures and utilities; settlement-aware sequences.
• Utility Corridors — Bedding, shading, warning tapes, and reinstatement per DEWA/authority requirements.
• Testing & Certification — Proctor (Standard/Modified), in-situ density (nuclear gauge or sand-cone), CBR and plate-load with reports to close inspections.

Our Compaction Process (Dubai-Compliant)

1. Pre-Construction & NOCs — Scope review, method statement, and eNOC/NOC coordination (RTA for ROW; DEWA/Dubai Municipality/DDA where applicable).
2. Material Control — Approved fill sources, moisture conditioning, lift thickness set per spec.
3. Layer-by-Layer Compaction — Rollers/compact equipment selected by soil class; continuous level/grade checks.
4. QA/QC Testing — Lab Proctor (ASTM D698 Standard or D1557 Modified) defines target; field density by ASTM D6938 (nuclear) or sand-cone; CBR for subgrade confirmation where specified.
5. Reinstatement & Handover — As-built levels, density results, and surface reinstatement to permit conditions.

Typical Dubai specs call for compliance with Dubai Municipality/DBC and relevant authority requirements; we achieve the stipulated %MDD (e.g., 95–98% as per project docs), documented via independent testing.

Fleet & Testing Capability

• Rollers: 3–20T smooth drum & padfoot, walk-behind compactors, rammers
• Support: Water tankers, graders, dozers, loaders; dispatch to sustain continuous lifts with high haul volumes
• Testing: Partner labs for Proctor (D698/D1557), Nuclear density (D6938), CBR (D1883), plate load; FHWA-recognised NDG practice.

Compliance & Risk Control (What Clients Care About)

• Safety & Public Protection — Works executed under Dubai’s Code of Construction Safety Practice and Dubai Building Code.
• ROW/Street Works — RTA eNOC for trenching/reinstatement; adherence to permit conditions and traffic plans.
• Utilities — DEWA reinstatement notes (e.g., approved backfill and procedures) followed for power/water corridors.

Areas We Serve

Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, JBR, JLT, Business Bay, Downtown, Al Quoz, Jebel Ali, Dubai South, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches — and wider UAE on request.

FAQs

What compaction standard do you follow? We set targets using ASTM D698 (Standard Proctor) or ASTM D1557 (Modified Proctor) per project specs, then verify field density with ASTM D6938 nuclear gauge or sand-cone tests.

Do you handle permits for trench reinstatement? Yes. For works in public right-of-way, we coordinate RTA eNOC and follow permit conditions, traffic management, and reinstatement requirements.

Can your compaction keep up with fast excavation? Yes. Our logistics and roller fleet are planned to match 300+ trips/day and ~13,500 m³/day programs, with surge capacity available on request.
