4.3 Earthworks

Technical Committee 4.3 "Earthworks" worked on the resilience of Earth Structures during the 2022-2023 PIARC Work Cycle. We emphasised the need to manage these assets and schedule minor works and maintenance during the life cycle of all infrastructure. We identified that Earth Structures, although normally the largest part of the highway infrastructure, with greater impact from a natural hazard, also receive the least attention in terms of Asset Management. This explains the first output we want to focus on during this work cycle. It will detail best practice of our members for earth structure asset management, with a case study report and full report.
