This standard presents execution procedures for excavating, transporting and placing soils and rocks for the construction of earth-structures. It includes excavation and placement of rock materials underwater.
Dredging of soils and the associated hydraulic placement of fills are covered by Part 6 of this standard.
NOTE:
Execution of earthworks follows the conclusions of the earthworks design and optimisation phase (Part 1), which must anticipate soil and rock specificities and their suitability. In case some events could not be foreseen, additional design is performed during the execution of works
