spreading the layer

"second layer of aggregate should be spread immediately, followed by compaction and grouting. The surface interstices of the second layer only are filled ..."

"...spray application of binder, spreading a layer of aggregate, ... modified binder followed by a layer of aggregate, spread and rolled. ..."

"The aggregate path comprises layers, or grades, of angular, interlocking stone laid in a path tray.

* sub-base - the load bearing path foundation, required for deep construction over wet or rough ground
* base - provides strength to the construction and a solid base for the path walking surface
* surfacing - forms a durable, and firm surface over the path base
* binding - protects and prevents movement of loose surface material; provides a good walking surface

Each construction layer should ideally contain a range of stone sizes graded on site. This ensures that the aggregate interlocks when compacted, to form a strong and solid layer without any gaps which may weaken the construction. Building a path in several layers of differing grades of aggregate will significantly increase the path durability, compared to using ungraded ‘as dug’ material in one, single layer."

placement by layer

Particular appropriate if this is referring to EARTHWORKS, but context will tell.

or layered installation...

It seems to be that we are referring to the placement and perhaps compaction of excavated materials but its not possible to tell from the context.

spreading of each lift

In dam construction each "layer" is referred to as a "lift" (around 30 cm at a time as a rule, a good depth for proper compaction).

When I say "dam construction" I mean "earth dams", though "lift" is also said of layers of concrete in concrete (conventional and RCC) dams.
