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. 2, record 1, French, - emprunt
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 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. 2, record 1, French, - emprunt
