HOW SHOULD MATERIALS BE STOCKPILED?
How material should be stockpiled depends on the nature of the material itself. The overall goal is to create a stockpile that is stable. This stability will depend on many conditions, including:- size and shape of the material being piled (e.g., solid object or “loose” material such as sand, stone, grain, etc.)
- water content
- condition of the stockpile pad or shelving (e.g., flatness, stability, etc.)
- exposure to temperature, rain, ice, snow
