What is Earthwork?

Earthworks refer to the process of manipulating the earth's surface, typically involving excavation (digging), embankment (placing earth), and grading (leveling or shaping the land). These activities are commonly undertaken in construction, landscaping, or agricultural projects to create a desired terrain or foundation for structures. Earthworks can include tasks like digging foundations, creating embankments for roads, shaping landscapes, or any other alteration of the natural topography of the land. It involves the use of heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, and graders to move and shape soil.
