In infrastructure construction projects where earthworks predominate, soil occasionally needs to be moved and/or treated and then compacted to specific density/moisture conditions. Drying soil increases overall project cost due to delays and materials (additives) and/or machinery costs.

Can you bring an innovative and cost-efficient way to dry wet soil in this civil engineering innovation challenge?

The following additional properties should also be considered:

• Enhance the workability of soil Preserve or improve the mechanical performance of the original soil
• Maintain or increase the usage of in situ soil (reducing cost of hauling, dumping and soils from borrow pits)
