This document summarizes a field dry density test conducted on site for the development of a 735 MW solar park in Rajasthan, India. The test was conducted to determine the dry density of excavated material using the sand replacement method. The maximum dry density of the material was determined to be 2.26 gm/cc with an optimum moisture content of 7.20%. Testing found an average field dry density of 2.160 gm/cc and a field compaction of 95.58%, meeting specifications.
