Earthwork is an essential stage in road construction. The proper and efficient performance of earthwork is a necessary condition of a successful execution of a road building project. Earthwork is carried out with suitable machines and implements, which allow mechanisation and acceleration of the task. In order to fully implement these machines, control systems are employed, as these improve the accuracy of the earthwork done, enable machine operators to carry out their work more easily, and support the processing of data. This article describes automated and laser systems used for this purpose. The situation on building sites where such systems are deployed has been analysed. The article contains the results of this analysis.
