Earthwork Calculation
Earthwork Calculation
(OP)
Owner wants to construct a bi-level residential building on a lot of 5000 sft. Currently, I am on the process of doing the topo survey using the traditional level machine for the grading plan. I would appreciate any comments regarding the survey as to how close I should take elevation shots for the rolling hills. Also, is there any less-expensive software (less than $1000) that I can use to calculate the earthwork (cut/fill) volume based on the survey contours and the proposed finished grade? Any recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thanks

earthwork estimating, try Pizer Earth. I began using it twenty years ago, but have since switched to digitizer software. Digitizers break down and Earth has bailed me out on several occasions. Check their web site.

I could use some more info, but I'll take a stab at it for you. For a 22 ton truck, figure about 30 loads, but check with your excavator, or your trucking outfit first.
