des sites pour le matériel d'emprunt (carrières) et des sites d'entreposage de la couche arable récupérée et des morts-terrains; borrow material sites (quarries) and storage sites for salvaged topsoil and overburden;

Les travaux de construction sur le site de Smoky Falls nécessiteront des matériaux d'emprunt imperméables ainsi que des granulats fins qui seront extraits des deux carrières d'emprunt. Construction at the Smoky Falls site will require borrow and impervious material as well as fine aggregates that will be extracted from two borrow pits.

emprunt
matériau d'emprunt
CONT Ce nivelage donne un profil qui est la ligne de terrassement. Mais il est souvent nécessaire d'ajouter du matériel pour atteindre la ligne d'infrastructure, les matériaux de déblais étant insuffisants. Ce matériel est transporté d'une source sise hors de l'emprise et, de ce fait, peut devenir un ouvrage spécial au contrat. Son prix est différent du terrassement de 2e classe quoique le matériau puisse être identique, et s'appelle emprunt ordinaire.

CONT
Emprunt ordinaire. D'une façon générale, tout matériau compactable peut être considéré comme emprunt ordinaire. C'est dire que toutes sortes de matériaux entrent dans cette catégorie. Cependant, les principes élémentaires déjà mentionnés sont à considérer : les matières organiques ne sont pas acceptables --maximum de 1 % dans le cas des sols cohérents et 2 % dans le cas des sols pulvérulents-- et les composants doivent être du règne minéral. De plus la grosseur des pierres doit être limitée.
