Earthworks involve the engineering process of moving, removing or adding soil, rock or other materials to change the landscape for construction or other purposes. It's a fundamental part of construction projects, particularly in civil engineering as it prepares the land for stuctures like roads, bridges, buildings or dams.
Excavation

Removal of soil, rock or other material to lower the ground level or create space for foundations, basements or utility trenches.

Cut and Fill

Involves cutting material from higher areas and using it to fill lower areas. this balances the site, reducing the need to import or export material.

Grading

Reshaping and leveling the ground to ensure proper drainage and create a stable foundation for construction.

Compaction

Compressing soil to increase its density and stability to prevent it from settling while/after a structure is built on it.

Embankments

Building up raised areas of land, typically using soil or rock, to support roadways, railways or flood defenses.

Cutting & Digging

Removal of material from a hillside or elevated area to create a level surface.

Hauling

Transporting excavated materials to different parts of the site or to off-ste locations. It involves dump trucks, loaders and other heavy equipment.

Backfilling

Filling in excavated areas or trenches after utilities or foundations are in place.
