The Excavation Management System
The Excavation Management System is regulated under Turkey’s Environmental Law No. 2872, especially through the Regulation on the Control of Excavation Soil, Construction and Demolition Waste. It aims to protect the environment, ensure the sustainability of natural resources, and prevent illegal or irregular dumping.
A Digital Public Policy Tool
The system is not only for waste tracking but also functions as a public policy tool for environmental protection. Through digital solutions like monitoring, reporting, map-based audits, and real-time alerts, IT companies help reduce the workload of municipalities and prevent unlawful activities.
Document and Process Management
All required documents are uploaded digitally into the system, then reviewed by authorized units for approval or rejection. Once approved, the payment process begins; if rejected, documents can be updated and resubmitted. This enables fast, secure, and transparent document tracking, feedback, and payments.
Preventing Illegal Dumping
To combat unauthorized dumping, the system integrates various control and tracking modules. These allow institutions and transport companies to manage the process in detail.
“Excavation soil and construction/demolition waste may only be dumped in areas authorized by the competent authorities. Dumping or filling into seas, lakes, rivers, or unauthorized locations is strictly prohibited. Violators will face penalties.”
System Features
Dump Site Mapping
The geographical coordinates of dumping sites can be defined in the system, making it easier to verify whether transport is to authorized locations.
Document Tracking and Reporting
All documents—whether pending, rejected, or active/inactive—are recorded in the system. Users can instantly check the current status of each document.
Permit Management
Transport permits issued for specific projects can be managed and monitored for validity and usage within the system.
Waste Types and Details
Waste materials such as rubble, soil, and fill can be categorized. The quantity, type, and dumping area of each material are reported in detail.
Instant Payment and Approval
Payments for approved documents are processed instantly within the system, speeding up the workflow.
Transport Request Creation
Companies or individual users can create new transport requests via the system. These requests are reviewed and approved by authorized personnel.
Carrier and Vehicle Information
Vehicles and technical details of registered transport companies (such as capacity and license plates) are stored in the system for easy management.
Mobile Driver Application
A mobile app for drivers enables location sharing, document access, and start/finish actions of transport tasks via smartphone.
Plate, Vehicle, and Company-Based Tracking
All transported material data, dates, and company information for each vehicle are recorded and can be analyzed as needed.
With this digital excavation tracking system, compliance with environmental regulations is simplified, illegal dumping is effectively prevented, and companies can digitize their operations to provide faster and more controlled services.
