Application fields of earthworks are associated with: - transport infrastructures (road and motorways, railways, waterways, airports); - platforms for industrial, commercial and residential buildings; - water engineering, flood defence and coastal protection works; - harbours and airport areas, including the construction of embankments in water; - river dykes and marine embankments for land reclamation; - earth and rock fill dams; - onshore embankments made of hydraulically placed fill; - noise barriers, visual barrier, and other non-load bearing earthworks: - landscaping embankments; - backfilling of open mines and quarries; - tailings dams; They are characterized by the need to use available na
