Earthworks - Part 5: Quality control

This European Standard provides recommendations and guidance on the quality assurance and quality control of earthworks construction forming part of general civil engineering and building works. It provides guidance on the techniques to be used to give clients, contractors and designers confidence that the earthworks have been constructed in accordance with their requirements.

Erdarbeiten - Teil 5: Qualitätskontrolle und Überwachung

Diese Europäische Norm enthält Empfehlungen und Leitlinien für die Qualitätssicherung und die Qualitäts-kontrolle von Erdarbeiten im üblichen Hoch- und Tiefbau. Sie gibt Hinweise zu den Verfahren, die anzu-wenden sind, damit Auftraggeber, Auftragnehmer und Planer sicher gehen können, dass die ausgeführten Erdarbeiten die von ihnen gestellten Anforderungen erfüllen.

Terrassement - Partie 5: Contrôle qualité et surveillance

Zemeljska dela - 5. del: Kontrola kakovosti

Ta evropski standard zajema priporočila in vodila glede zagotavljanja kakovosti ter nadzora kakovosti konstrukcije zemeljskih del, ki so del splošnih gradbenih inženirskih objektov in gradbenih del. Zajema vodila glede tehnik, s katerimi se lahko naročniki, pogodbeniki in projektanti prepričajo, da so bila zemeljska dela izvedena v skladu z njihovimi zahtevami.

Overview

EN 16907-5:2018 - Earthworks: Part 5 - Quality control (CEN) provides recommendations and guidance for quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) of earthworks within civil engineering and building projects. The standard helps clients, contractors and designers ensure earthworks are constructed to specified requirements by describing QA programmes, QC plans, material checking, compaction control approaches and compliance testing methods.

Key topics and requirements

• Quality Assurance Programme
  • QA is the overall system; QC is one element. Core elements include QC, acceptance procedures, and non‑conformance resolution. Independent QA may be required for impartial evaluation.
• Quality Control Plan (minimum content)
  • Sampling and testing procedures (locations, frequency, methods, acceptance criteria).
  • Organisation and responsibilities.
  • Visual inspection, document control and corrective actions for non‑conformance.
• Material checking
  • Characterisation per EN 16907‑2 before bulk works. Sampling at excavation or deposition, testing imported materials at source/deposition where practical. Chemical testing where manufactured or recycled materials are used.
• Compaction control approaches
  • Method specification: prescriptive requirements for equipment, layer thickness, number of passes and recording (e.g., Q/S method, tachographs, GNSS-equipped compactors). Trial embankments recommended.
  • End product specification: performance-based criteria (e.g., required in‑place density or stiffness); constructor chooses means to comply. Trial embankment and routine compliance testing recommended.
• Compliance testing methods
  • In situ density testing (acceptance of compaction).
  • Stiffness and bearing capacity tests: plate loading, deflectometer, penetration tests.
  • Continuous Compaction Control (CCC) with vibrating rollers (see CEN/TS 17006).
  • Geometry/tolerances, testing frequency, result evaluation methods (single result, attributes, variables) and record‑keeping are covered.
• Documentation
  • Daily records, presentation of test results, as‑built records and procedures for non‑conformance tracking.

Applications and users

• Practical for: civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, earthworks contractors, site supervisors, quality managers and clients procuring earthworks.
• Typical uses: embankments, road subgrades, foundation fill, land reclamation (note: dredged hydraulic fill is specified by end product).
• Helps establish contractual QC regimes, on‑site testing programs, acceptance criteria and traceable records for regulatory and design compliance.
