    This document discusses cut and fill methods used in construction projects. It defines cut sections as areas where material is removed and fill sections as areas where material is added. It then provides an example of the Seremban–Port Dickson Highway project in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The highway construction utilized cut and fill methods by removing material from hills and using it to fill lower areas. This allowed the project to save costs by reusing excavated material instead of importing soil. It also helped create a straight roadway and avoid potential landslides by flattening hilly terrain. In summary, the document outlines definitions of cut and fill construction and provides an example project that demonstrated cost savings and other benefits from using this
