This course provides a practical introduction to earthworks, covering the purpose and importance of earthworks, interpreting geotechnical reports, soil testing and classification, subgrade construction, stockpiling considerations, earthwork layers above subgrade, fill layer thickness, controlled and engineered fill, compaction methods, compaction control parameters, and reading earthwork drawings.
It helps construction teams understand how earthworks should be planned, prepared, compacted, checked, and interpreted from drawings to improve site execution, reduce ground-related risks, and support long-term performance.
This course is designed for main contractors, builders, and their teams who are responsible for managing, coordinating, and supervising works related to Earth Works.
It is a fundamental-level course aimed at experienced and senior professionals. We recommend completing the ‘Introduction to Ground Works’ course prior to starting this one, to ensure a solid foundational understanding.
