High Spot — Machine Link
Define the finished purpose, reference levels, underlying material condition and the evidence required by the receiving operation. Geometry alone does not establish structural or agronomic performance.
This reference assembles relevant extracts from the guide library. It is general project planning, not a local project report, verified specification or translated technical publication.
Machine Before - Dugong - Machine After
The machine before Dugong determines what material arrives; the machine after Dugong determines what surface must leave. An excavator can expose formation, a loader can deliver a stockpile, and a roller can compact the placed layer. The scraper's role is bounded by those interfaces.
Before moving material
Identify the upstream operation and its remaining defects.
Receiving operation and checks
Hand over the measured surface to compaction, cultivation, paving or turf preparation. Record which operation owns levels, materials and final acceptance.
The workflow can include Dugong where suitable; it does not assume Dugong replaces adjacent equipment.

A high spot is meaningful only relative to the intended surface. It may obstruct runoff, limit cultivation depth or sit above a construction formation. Cutting it without knowing the target can remove useful soil unnecessarily.
Before moving material
Measure the feature against surrounding levels and the agreed datum.
Receiving operation and checks
Recheck the corrected level and restore the appropriate surface layer. Check whether the high spot was a local deposit or part of the intended contour.
A visible mound is not automatically a defect.

High-to-low redistribution can reduce local quantity imbalance when the high area's material suits the low area's intended use. It should follow measured levels, not visual guesses.
Before moving material
Mark confirmed cut and fill areas and soil layers.
Receiving operation and checks
Prepare the placed material and recheck the profile. Compare productive-layer depth in both source and receiving zones.
Some low areas are designed drains and should not be filled.
