Can the sentence “One method to ....” be revised as “One method for protecting ....”?

Sentence #1:
One method to protect against the impact is to surround the structures with works built of fill materials.

Sentence #2:
One method for protecting against the impact is to surround the structure with fill materials.

Both are now corrected for proper grammar. Sentence #1 implies that the fill materials are to be within “works” which means the fill materials are to be enveloped in a sub-structure.

Sentence #2 leaves the “works” detail out. In engineering, this could be a very important detail.

To clarify on @Espiritus_Corvus‘s answer, only use “the” before impact if you are referring to a specific impact that you have already mentioned.
Also, I may be out of context here but the word “works” seems vague and unnecessary. I suggest Sentence #2.
