INTRODUCTION Earthwork: the processes whereby the surface of the
earth is excavated and transported to and compactedat another location.
The introduction of the internal combustion engine,electric power and hydraulic power have led to thedevelopment of a wide range of earthwork plant (size,capacity and efficiency).
Scale: ranges from small works (the excavation ofditches and trenches for drainage and pits and trenchesfor foundations) to the large earthworks (highways anddams).

INTRODUCTION carried out at an early stage in a construction project,
completion of the earthworks within the scheduledtime is often the key to the completion on time of thewhole project
success often depends on:
o an adequate site investigation and preparingpractical and satisfactory designs of theearthworks.
o the choice and efficient use of the correct typesand size of plant to meet the particularrequirements of the site.

Site clearing
Clearing, grubbing, demolishing, breaking up andremoving all trees, shrubs, vegetation, butts,structures such as walls, fences and other obstructionwithin the site which have been designated to bedemolished or removed
All spoils and debris shall be removed and disposed ofoff-site at an approved certified construction landfill

Cutting and excavation
Most construction projects require the movement ofearthwork on site. This will result in altering theexisting elevation to a different or finish elevation.
To determine the amount of soil to be moved, theestimator needs to have a plot plan or topographicsurvey.
This drawing is developed by plotting the readings(elevations) obtained from a topographic field surveyusually performed by a licensed land surveyor.

Cutting and excavation
Part of the permanent works (e.g. cuttings)
A temporary expedient in the construction of theworks (e.g. for foundations and drainage)
The sides of the excavations are required to remainstable during their design life, can be achieved by: excavating the material to a stable slope angle
by retaining or supporting the material.

Transport and moving
Trucks are used to transport excavated material,aggregates and construction material
As the primary hauling unit provides a high degree of
flexibility. Found in the crust of the earth
Classified as rock or soil
Soil characteristics that affect a soils behaviour forconstruction purposes.

Transport and moving
Lab tests are required to fully determine a soils
physical and chemical properties which control those
characteristics.

Sloping
Function of the natural angle of repose, density,surface and subsurface water flow.
Early stabilization of surfaces is critical
Eliminate points of concentrated flow using slopedrains as outlets.
Difficult slopes may require riprap, gabions, or othermeasures for permanent stabilization .

KEYS TO SUCCESSFULEARTHWORK OPERATIONS
1. Control surface and subsurface water
2. Maintain optimum moisture range by drying, mixing ,
or wetting3. Identify and monitor cut & fill quantities
4. Good layout (horizontal & vertical control)
5. Minimize handling - minimize stockpiling

KEYS TO SUCCESSFULEARTHWORK OPERATIONS
6. Optimize haul lengths
7. Minimize cycle time
8. Proper selection and sizing of excavators and haulunits
9. Alternate haul unit wheel paths
10. Experienced personnel in the field
