BS EN 16907 Europe’s first earthworks standard

The first ever European Earthworks Standard, BS EN 16907, were published at the end of 2018. This was the culmination of over ten years of detailed collaborative working by earthworks specialists from many European countries including the UK. The new standard treats earthworks design as a process.

I’d be interested to know from anyone at the PEW if this is being taught to the MPFs? The MPFs on my team haven’t heard of it, they just recall Mr Moran shouting at them about the shear strength of soil.

If you’re particularly interested in this standard, the ICE released a lecture on it recently presented by some of the author’s of the standard – Link here.
