Excavation Material and Recycling Material as a Backfill of Trenches including Compaction Control

Life

Environment 

The target of the project is to demonstrate the results of a pilot project already in progress in Austria, with regards to the use of excavation material and re cycling material as backfill of trenches. There is also a very strict control on compaction of the material to avoid road structural failure and high maintenance costs. The results of this project can be compared with those of Austria and, thanks to the interest of the European Union, implemented  in other European countries where the same project could be transferred.  There could also be the opportunity that the procedures relating to this sector could be validated on a European level.

·       Reduced environmental damanges (reduced road traffic, reduced consumption of natural resources etc.)

·       Reduced investment costs for new roads/roads repairing after excavations;

·       Safer roads;

·       To harmonize specifications on an European level
