ABSTRACT

Notes The cost of earth moving and other associated works is dependent on matching the overall quantities and production rates called for by l1e programme of works with the most appropriate plant and assessing the most suitable version of that plant that will:

0 deal with the site conditions (e.g. type of ground, type of excavation, length of haul, prevailing weather, n:.);

0 comply with the specification requiremenls (e.g. compaction, separation of materials, surface tolerances, etc.);

0 complete the work economically (e.g. provide surface 1Dlerances which will avoid undue excessive thickness of expensive imported materials).
