Embankment construction involves building raised earth structures to support roads, railways, levees, dams, and construction platforms. These engineered soil structures provide stability, control water flow, and create elevated land for safe and reliable development. Proper embankment construction ensures long-term strength and resistance to erosion and settlement.
Find answers to common questions about embankment construction, including materials, compaction methods, drainage, and how properly built embankments support safe and stable infrastructure.
An embankment is a raised structure made of compacted soil or aggregate.
It prevents settling, erosion, and structural failure.
Soil, gravel, crushed stone, and engineered fill materials.
Yes. They help control water flow and reduce flooding.
Height depends on engineering design and soil conditions.
