BS EN 16907-6:2018 PDF Download

BS EN 16907-6:2018 is a European standard that focuses on the excavation and hydraulic placement of fill material for land reclamation projects. The standard specifically addresses soils that exhibit free-draining behavior during and after placement. Its main objective is to ensure that functional requirements and specifications for such projects align with site boundary conditions and construction methods.

This standard establishes minimum requirements for acquiring site-related data prior to the procurement and execution stage of a dredging and land reclamation project. It provides guidance on selecting the appropriate dredging equipment, as well as choosing a borrow area and evaluating the suitability of the fill material for the project. It also offers general principles for designing the execution of a dredged hydraulic fill project and provides guidelines for monitoring and quality control to ensure that the fill mass behaves as intended by the land reclamation designer.

It is important to note that BS EN 16907-6:2018 does not cover the dredging and placement of rock, mine tailings, mineral wastes, and contaminated soils.
