Meaning of Earthworks
Meaning of Earthworks
(OP)
To me the word EARTHWORKs means/summarizes all activities related to soil such as:
- LEVELLING AND GRADING
- EXCAVATION
- BACKFILLING
- COMPACTION
- SOIL DISPOSAL
I made this statement because somebody means that earthwork is an activity like compaction, backfilling, excavation etc etc.!?
just want ur opinion on that if whether my interpretation is correct or not

if used in a contractual sense, i'd suggest the term be defined at the beginning of discussions/documents
