Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Soil questions compaction in wet conditions

I lost access to the larger roller and with work starting in 3 days I am in a bind. I posted this on the main thread "starting the dream" but it might be more seen here.

I found a small roller 1 and 3/4 ton 36 inch vibratory drum smooth shell.

Will this work under these conditions.

Stripping 6 inches off basin leaving 1 foot in place

rolling basin
adding DB200 and rolling
adding 8 inches of new clay and DB200 and rolling


Pond is 10 foot max average 5 feet

Will the smaller roller provide enough compaction. I can not find or rent anything bigger but do not want to waste time if there is no hope.

please chime in with advice.
