EARTHWORKS AT THE PLANNING STAGE

EL TRANSPORTE DE SUELOS EN LA EJECUCION DE LA OBRA BASICA

Various solutions are proposed to the problems of earthworks at the planning stage, taking account of possible adjustments having to be considered during construction. The initial earthwork plant must be flexible enough to allow for a number of contingencies; controls must be carried out and necessary modifications made in order to obtain minimum volumes to be transported over maximum distances. Finally A solution is put forward for the problem of measuring already completed earthworks, that, because of negligence, lack of foresight or material impossibility, were not recorded as construction progressed. The number of the covering abstract is IRRD Abstract No. 100834. /TRRL/
