2. MANY STEPS……MANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
 Selecting the source of the material
 How the material is crushed and produced
 How the material is transported
 How the material is laid out

3. SELECTING THE SOURCE OF THE MATERIAL
 What are you trying to make?
 Does the site have historic data?
 Can you talk with anyone who has produced at the site before?
 Tests that can be affected by the source material: Gradation, Percent Crushing, SpallTests, Etc….

4. HOWTHE MATERIAL IS PRODUCED
 How crushing crews feed the bank
 What size screens are used
 Weather conditions during production
 Stacker segregation/contamination

5. HOWTHE MATERIAL IS TRANSPORTED
 How is the material loaded out of the stockpile and into the trucks?
 Has the QC people spoken with the loader operator?
 How is the material dumped at the site?

6. HOWTHE MATIERAL IS LAID OUT
 Proper blade work: blending, rolling, watering
 Proper dumping
 Knowing when corrections need to be made
