This paper describes the problem of construction of embankment structures from the point of view of the installation method and control and the importance of achieving the characteristic of embedded materials. In the construction of embankment structures , it is important to achieve good characteristic of embedded materials to be used in the embankment. Field and laboratory investigations are performed for this purpose, which provide us with the required material characteristic data such as soil density, optimum humidity, required degree of compactness. The construction of the embankment structures goes through several phases: excavation, transport, filling and spreading, and compacting of bulk material. During and after construction of the embankment it is necessary to carry out current and control tests to detect possible changes in the composition and quality of the embankment material. The technique of building the embankment with refilling is especially elaborated.
