How to Backfill Using Water Jetting

Water jetting is a technique that relies on specific material but no compaction.

Backfilling with jet allows the contractor to leave the trench and come back later
forcing pressurized water into the trench using a long metal device. Water jetting
should be avoided on plastic soils or heavy clay soils, however, it is
recommended in sand or in highly fissured bedrock. In jetting, you pump the
water under pressure and use the force of the jetted water to move the bedding
or backfill material around.

As with any backfilling, material should be placed slowly and in lifts. Flooding or
'jetting' backfill generally produces poor to very poor compaction. It is necessary
to take preventive measures to contain water containing sediment, and in
particular, prevent it entering drains and water courses, all in accordance with
EPA Guidelines. If the water cannot drain from the backfill soils, the material will
be setup for future collapse.

Flowable Fill Used to Backfill

Backfill can also be done using flowable fill, a cementitious material with a
low water/cement ratio, delivered to the job site by a ready mix truck. The
material is then placed as backfill directly from the truck, just like regular
concrete. Backfilling with flowable fill should be done carefully, making sure
that the utility pipe is covered first with an aggregate material. Allowing flowable
fill to engulf the pipe can create problems for those needing to hand dig around
the pipe in the future. The other challenge when using flowable fill is that the
material does flow so the contractor must block or prevent the backfill material to
flow continuously to other trench areas.
