Repairing an armadillo tunnel beneath a utility pad

I have a slab that my pool pump and filter sit on that an armadillo has completely trenched underneath. You can see straight thru. I’m not too concerned from a weight-bearing perspective, but how would be best way to fill this? It’s about 4 feet in length, 6-8” diameter.

Maybe make a little PVC chute and pour a really wet sand slurry into it?

Once knew a guy who lived in N.O. East in Village de Lest which was notorious for soil subsidence. If the houses were not built on pilings, they would have not survived for long.
You could actually crawl under the house on hands and knees under the slab the ground had sunk that much. He back filled it with the sand/water slurry pumped in from several locations around the perimeter of the house.

I would mix some quickrete real runny and pour in one end of the hole. Make yourself a plunger out of something like a stick of 4-inch pvc to use to keep forcing the concrete onto the hole i\until it comes out of the other side.

the commercial solution is a cementious flowable fill. Since yours is so small honestly I would just pack it with sand
get a joint of 4” sched 40 pipe, glue a cap on one end to make a ramrod, and pack the sand in from both sides

Yeah. I can’t think of a good way to get cement in there without running out of one end or the other.

Put a paving stone over one side. Put a five gallon bucket with a hole in the bottom over the other
Dump runny cement in bucket.
Profit.
