Now that you have seen the soil test results and have estimated a distance from the borrow site to the construction site, it is time to select a single borrow site for your project.

In this exercise, you will:

Select the best borrow site for your construction project.

Text Version:
Hint: When choosing a borrow site, consider the general soil and geology conditions for the area, the proximity of the borrow sites and the construction site, the soil properties gained through lab tests, the cost of the soil, and the construction site soil objective.
