• Site dewatering and routing of discharge for pumped water
• Removal and stockpile of overburden materials
• Ripping of the shale formation and breaking the shale material into a smaller size suitable for further compaction and testing
• Application of water to the crushed shale under direction of the geotechnical engineer
• Preparation of a test embankment foundation
• Placement and compaction of shale material
• Assist the Geotechnical engineer with extraction of lab samples from the shale embankment
