The Earthworks

Earthworks refer to the engineering activities that involve moving and processing soil and rock to create structures or modify landscapes. Common examples include excavations for foundations, embankments for roads, and landscaping for drainage or aesthetics. This process is vital in construction and civil engineering, as it prepares the ground for buildings, highways, and other infrastructure. Earthworks require careful planning, as factors like soil stability and environmental impact must be considered to ensure safety and sustainability in the development of an area.
