2. ZEMLJANI RADOVI
2.1. Iskop humusa
(St.2-01. O.T.U.)
http://www.medulin.hr/uploads/media/5.1_Troskovnik.pdf

Rad obuhvaća površinski iskop humusa predviđene
debljine 20 cm i njegovo prebacivanje na privremeno ili
stalno odlagalište. Za potrebe oblaganja zelenih površina
humus će se iz privremene deponije na gradilištu o)istiti
i ponovo upotrijebiti. Obračun se vrši po m3 iskopanog humusa mjereno u SRASLOM stanju.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
A. Excavation: Excavation will be measured in cubic yards (cubic meters) by the average end area method. Measurement of excavation will include unsuitable material excavated and removed to obtain proper compaction in cut sections and in foundations for fill sections. Suitable material temporarily removed and replaced to facilitate compaction, except undercutting required in Section 120.3.A.3, second paragraph, will not be measured for payment.
Accepted quantities of excavation will be measured in its original position by cross sectioning. The area excavated will include overbreakage or slides not due to carelessness of the Contractor. Where it is impractical to measure material by this method, acceptable methods involving three dimensional measurements or measurement in the hauling vehicle may be used.

meni se čini da bi se ovdje možda moglo raditi o načinu mjerenja količine iskopa, tj. da se možda volumen humusa mjeri "in its original position", tj. dok je "srasao" s tlom ispod, a ne npr. u rasutom stanju, kad je već iskopan... no to samo nagađam:((

ako bi se radilo o tome, onda bi to mogao biti možda "bank volume of humus"...

".... bank material is undisturbed soil, that is, soil in its natural state and location..."
