Civil engineering use Typical earthworks include road Construction roads , railway beds, causeways , dam Earth dams dams , levee s, canal s, and berm s. Other common earthworks are land grading to reconfigure the topography of a site, or to stabilize slopes. Military use In military engineer ing, earthworks are, more specifically, types of fortification s constructed from soil. Although soil is not very strong, it is cheap enough that huge quantities can be used, generating formidable structures. Examples of older earthwork fortifications include moat s, sod defensive wall walls , motte and bailey castles, and hill fort s. Modern examples include trench warfare trenches and berm s. Equipment Heavy equipment construction Heavy construction equipment is usually used due to the amounts of material to be moved &mdash up to millions of cubic metres. Earthwork construction was revolutionised by the development of the Fresno Scraper Fresno Wheel tractor scraper scraper and other engineering vehicle earth moving machines such as the loader equipment loader , production trucks , the grader , the bulldozer , the backhoe , and the dragline excavator .
