Earthwork

Earthwork refers to the process of moving and manipulating soil and rock to create a desired shape or structure on land. This is commonly done in construction, landscaping, and civil engineering projects, such as building roads, bridges, or foundations. It involves excavation (digging) and embankment (filling) to prepare the ground for development. Proper earthwork is essential for stability, drainage, and overall site integrity. It can also include activities like leveling surfaces, creating slopes, and managing soil erosion.
