The works described in this specification refer to the conditions that must be met during the general excavation works required for transport or hydraulic engineering works.

‘General excavation works’ means excavations and extractions performed at any depth, when the following conditions are met at the same time: width > 5.00 m and plan view > 100 m2.

Depending on the mechanical equipment used, an excavation can be classified as general, if it can be performed using more than one type of earthmoving machinery (e.g. bulldozers, excavators, loaders, scrapers etc.) and not only an excavator (backhoe).

Any other excavation works (e.g. ditches, foundations, etc.) are not considered ‘general excavation works’ and do not fall within the scope of this Specification.

The following fall within the scope of this specification: 1. The performance of all kinds of general excavation works / 2. The formation of the slopes, of any steps as well as the formation and compaction of the bottom of the cuttings /3. The loading of the products of excavation works onto a vehicle, for transportation or side deposition in order to transport them or use them for back filling in the future.
