  Earthworks (engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In civil engineering, earthworks are engineering works created through the moving of massive quantities of soil or unformed stone.
Engineers need to concern themselves with issues of geotechnical engineering (such as soil fluidity and friction) and with quantity estimation to ensure that soil volumes in the cuts match those of the fills, while minimising the distance of movement.
Due to the massive amounts of material to be moved — millions of cubic yards in the case of large dams earthwork engineering was revolutionised by the development of the (Fresno) scraper and other earth-moving machines such as the loader, production trucks, the grader, the bulldozer, the backhoe and the drag line excavator.

 Prehispanic Earthworks of the Baures Region of the Bolivian Amazon
The moats are impressive earthworks of up to 4 meters deep and 10 meters wide, sometimes with steep sidewalls, and have diameters of between 150 and 350 meters.
The investigation of the earthworks of Baures has been conducted using remote sensing techniques (digital processing, enhancement, and interpretation of images), ground survey, surface collections, topographic mapping, post-hole coring transects across sites and earthworks, small scale excavations of features, and the recording of artifacts from private collections in the region.
The elaborate construction of earthworks consisting of moated villages and vast networks of canals and causeways is unusual in the lowland tropics of South America.

Francis Riquet was the engineer, and Colbert the minister.
An excellent biography of an outstanding engineer of the Canal Age is: Charles Hadfield and A. Skempton, William Jessop, Engineer (Newton Abbot: David and Charles, 1979).
The engineer has the knowledge and experience to manage the complete project, not simply one of its parts, however important individually, as was earlier within the limited purview of the millwright or mason.
