Earthworks - Part 6: Land Reclamation Earthworks Using Dredged Hydraulic Fill
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16907-6 standard focuses on the underwater excavation and hydraulic placement of fill material for land reclamation projects. Specifically, it addresses the use of soils that have free-draining behavior during and after placement. The standard aims 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 of dredging and land reclamation projects. It provides guidance on selecting the appropriate dredging equipment and borrow area, as well as assessing the suitability of the fill material for the project. The standard 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 this standard does not cover the dredging and placement of rock, mine tailings, mineral wastes, and contaminated soils.
