Earthworks are one of the cornerstones of civil engineering works carried out in and with granular soils, that is, the movement of earth by means of excavation and filling. Earthworks are vital in civil engineering, from securing the foundations for roads and buildings to changing the entire topography of a site. Earthwork is a crucial part of every construction project. Without it, foundations might not safely carry the weight of their loads or stormwater may rush off and cause flooding and erosion.
