Underground High-Voltage Cable Extension - Makkah
Nuclear-method field density testing of backfill surrounding underground cables.
Project Snapshot
For a high-voltage underground cable extension in Makkah for Mohammed Al-Ojaimi Contracting Establishment, TECHNO Soil Lab performed nuclear-gauge field density testing on the cable-surround backfill. The readings provided a field record of the backfill layers before final trench closure continued.
Scope of Work
Why Compaction Testing Is Required Around Underground Cables
Cable-trench backfill is concealed work that becomes difficult to inspect after closure. Field density testing was therefore performed on the backfill layers surrounding the cables on this Makkah project, documenting compaction while the construction team could still review the reading before moving to final backfilling.
A Documented Scope Without Assuming an Unrecorded Result
The project record states the verified scope: the Makkah location, Mohammed Al-Ojaimi Contracting Establishment as client, and nuclear-method field density testing around underground cables. It does not publish point counts or compaction percentages because those values are not present in the available content record and remain in the project's test reports.
