These HTS concern the conditions that apply to the construction materials used for embankments, the way these are transported onsite, the way they are formed, as well as any relevant work regarding the construction of new embankments or the filling up of existing ones.

NOTE: These HTS are prepared within the framework of the gradual replacement of older technical specifications with new updated ones, in application of the relevant European Standards.
