the fill for building will not be granular material, probably clay. Op has tractor to compact not a roller.not ready to say max on the six inch lift, do you think 2 inch makes that much of a difference? on culvert replacement on the highway we did 10 to 12 inch lift with sand and 8 to 10 inch lift with gravel but that was compacted with diesel plates and plenty of water, it passed compaction tests every time...
alan w what kind of engineer told you 8 inch lift
