The speakers will discuss how BS EN 16907 has been updated to the European Earthworks Standard after nine years of detailed collaborative working by earthworks specialists from across Europe.

The first ever European Earthworks Standard, BS EN 16907, was published at the end of 2018. This was the culmination of over nine years of detailed collaborative working by earthworks specialists from many European countries including the UK. Earthworks are a feature of nearly every geotechnical pro…

On the Somerset coast, an extraordinary civil engineering operation is underway to deliver the deep dig earthworks for Hinkley Point C (HPC), the UK’s first EPR nuclear power station.

A presentation of the principles and practicalities of earth works. The presentation sets the scene of modern earth works with a bit of history; from the roman empire to the MCHW SHW Series’ and British standards.

Join a guided tour of the earthworks for the Moors at Arne coastal change project, near Wareham, Dorset, where a new wetland nature reserve is being created to replace marsh and mudflats being lost to rising sea levels.

This presentation will describe some of the good geotechnical work that is being done on the HS2 Phase One across earthworks, retaining structures and foundations.

Join this ICE East Midlands Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby event to learn more about the importance of soil reuse and waste classification considerations on earthworks projects in maximising sustainability and minimising time and costs.

Europe’s first earthworks standard: Enabling a common approach for the future – Peter Gilbert & Alan Phear.

The presentation will give an overview of the scheme and will describe the main aspects of the design and construction of the earthworks, retaining structures and structure foundations, including detail of the pile design methodology and pile test methods developed.

Our activity as civil engineers is key to creating the world of the future and ensuring the infrastructure we have is safe, resilient, sustainable and delivers social benefit.
