*[[Geotextiles]] are used with structural soils to prevent migration of fines from the road or sidewalk base into the structural soils. In BC, a Nilex 4545 fabric is used for this purpose, but other fabrics may also be suitable.

*Compaction to 95% SPD is achieved in 1 m lifts to 95% SPD. Testing of compaction of levels is accomplished with a trolled nuclear densometer for larger rock size mixes.
