 FOUNDATIONS; EXCAVATIONS; EMBANKMENTS (specially adapted for hydraulic engineering E 02 B); UNDERGROUND OR UNDERWATER STRUCTURES [6]
 

Notes

(1)

 This subclass covers underground structures made by foundation engineering, i.e. involving disturbance of the ground surface. [6]

(2)

 This subclass does not cover underground spaces, made by underground mining methods only, i.e. not involving disturbance of the ground surface, which are covered by subclass E 21 D. [6]
