Byggfyllet

Byggfyllet is a Swedish term that translates to "construction fill" or "building fill." It refers to granular material used in construction projects to fill voids, create stable foundations, or level uneven ground. This material typically consists of aggregates like sand, gravel, crushed stone, or recycled construction debris. The specific type of byggfyllet used depends on the application and required load-bearing capacity. It is a crucial component in various civil engineering works, including road construction, landscaping, and the creation of building sites.

The primary function of byggfyllet is to provide a solid and uniform base upon which subsequent construction layers can be placed. It helps distribute loads evenly, preventing settlement and ensuring the long-term stability of structures. Proper compaction of byggfyllet is essential to achieve the desired density and strength. In some cases, especially when using recycled materials, the composition and quality of the fill are carefully controlled to meet environmental and safety standards. The availability of local fill materials can significantly impact project costs and logistics.
