ELOT TS 1501-02-07-05-00 Lining of slopes — filling of parts with plant land
The purpose of this Technical Specification is to lay down the requirements for the lining of slopes of earthworks projects with plant land and the filling of parts with plant land.
The lining of the slopes (mainly the embankments, but also the earth trenches) and the filling of the islands of road works with plant land aim to ensure infrastructure for planting and natural revegetation conditions to improve the integration of technical works (road construction, railways, etc.) into the natural environment.
Soil improvement work for plant growth (addition of horticultural soil, etc.) is part of the plant-technical work covered by the Technical Specifications for Green Projects, ELOT TS of Section 10 (ELOT TS codes 1501-10).
The lining of the slopes and the filling of the parts with plant land are included in road construction projects (generally in transportation projects) as special earthworks.
