ELOT TS 1501-02-06-00-00 Development — Exploitation of Quarries and Borrow pits
The purpose of this Technical Specification is to define the requirements for the exploitation of sites outside the scope of the project for the extraction or production of suitable materials exclusively for use in the project, when the products of excavations of the project are insufficient or unsuitable for this purpose.
This includes taking appropriate materials from river or torrent beds (sand extraction, etc.).
The extraction areas of the materials are classified as borrow pits when normal earthworks machinery (excavators, pushers, loaders) are used and as quarries when explosive and/or impact/punching equipment is used.
The development and/or exploitation of borrow pits/quarries is intended to meet the material needs of a specific project and is part of the construction activities of the contractor.
Therefore, this Technical Specification does not include the supply of finished materials (e.g. breakers) by operating quarrying companies.
