calculate landfill liner cover area
calculate landfill liner cover area
(OP)
I primarily utilize ACAD Civil 3D for my work. Just starting to break into the civil / environmental engineering field and want to know how I can calculate the square footage of a final cover that our firm wants to place on an existing landfill that is full. I can use ACAD to calculate the total volume of the landfill area, but not sure about using it to calculate SF on final cover. If it is a soil or clay cap would it not be in cubic feet in lieu of square feet?
New to all of this ~ can anyone give any suggestions or advice?

- Model 1 is the uncapped but full landfill.
- Model 2 is the final levels following capping works
Subtract Model 1 from Model 2 and you have the volume of cover fill.
I'm not sure if ACAD 3D does the same thing though.
Hope this helps
