Just putting in the hardcore (MOT 1) for my floor slab. 100mm required

First floor slab I've done.
To what depth should I rake it out before compaction to end up with
100mm ?
In other words, how much should I expect it to compact ?
Thanks,
Simon.


Compaction factor is 1.3 so if your compacted volume is 1m3 you will need to order 1.3m3 of loose hardcore
