Soil and hauling

Swell, shrinkage and truck capacity: material to remove or import and the number of trips.

Mass curve and tables

Areas, partial and cumulative volumes per chainage.

PDF report

One chapter per calculation, with plan, sections, 3D view and table. Download it directly, also on iPhone and iPad.

FAQ

Which calculation method is used?

For profiles, the average end area method: the mean of two consecutive section areas times the distance between them. For surfaces and pads, it integrates each fragment of the TIN mesh.

Do the results replace a professional check?

No. They are a support calculation: verification and sign-off belong to the professional in charge of the work.
