Earthworks

Earthworks encompass all construction measures that alter the position, shape and storage properties of soil. They thus form the basis for projects in the fields of road construction, sewer construction, dam construction, Landfills, seals, earth covers, horticulture, culvert construction, noise barriers and many more.

Dams are typical earthworks. They are needed for transport routes such as canals, roads and railways, but also for dams and Landfills. The levelling and compaction of large areas is just as much a part of earthworks as the delivery of sand, gravel or topsoil and the disposal of soil masses.

As a subsidiary company of PORR environmental engineering, Koller Transporte-Kies-Erdbau GmbH specialises in such earthworks. The company carries out smaller construction projects, such as excavation pit safety measures for single-family homes, as well as large infrastructure projects for clients such as the Port of Vienna and ÖBB.
