[Objective] Surveying the treatment status and put forwarding the manage countermeasure of spare earthworks in municipal production and construction projects, to explore suitable management approach and countermeasures for spare earthworks in urban construction projects.[Methods] Taking Beijing City as a case, the paper analyzed current situation and the existing problems of municipal production and construction projects, and then put forward the management countermeasures with reference to native and alien earthwork management experience.[Results] A basic understandings of spare earthwork management and related environmental problems were showed in the paper, including inter-coordination use, placement of spoil ground, earthwork outsourcing processing, residue ground, resource utilization of construction waste, etc. Referring to native and alien earthwork management experience, we put forward several management measures for extra earthwork in production and construction projects in Beijing City, including strengthening the protection and publicity of soil resources, adding earthwork management to the preliminary scheme of the construction project, developing reuse technology of construction waste and river sludge, establishing earthwork information platform, etc.[Conclusion] The current management measures of the production construction project have not met the demand of urban construction and development. Therefore, to improve the utilization efficiency of extra earthwork in urban production and construction projects, the management system of earthwork should be established and improved in the future through the reinforcement of legal protection, capital investment, policy support, technology improvement and information communication.
