WHAT IT IS

Fill earth and topsoil are naturally occurring clay-based or laterite soils used in Malaysian earthworks for site levelling, sub-grade filling, landscape bunding, and back-fill around foundations. Tanah Merah (red laterite) and Tanah Bukit (hill soil) are the two most common grades available from Malaysian earth suppliers, distinguished by colour, clay fraction, and compaction behaviour. Supplied bulk by 6-wheel or 10-wheel lorry load, or in 15 kg bags for small-scale use. No formal MS structural standard applies; suitability depends on site-specific compaction and bearing tests. Commonly specified by geotechnical engineers on JKR and private development earthworks contracts in Malaysia.
