Cut and fill volumes both sides of the contract accept.

Contours, slopes, elevation profiles and cut-and-fill volumes from survey-grade terrain models.

Earthwork

Move the design level to balance cut and fill.

A ground cross-section against a design level. Ground above the level is cut, ground below it is filled. Volumes are illustrative.

Questions it answers

  • How many cubic metres must we cut, and how many fill?

  • Can we balance earthwork on site?

  • Is this slope safe to build on?

  • What did the contractor actually move this period?

What you receive

Files you can open in your own GIS or CAD software, plus a report that states method and dates.

  • Cut / fill volume report per zone (m³), with method and date
  • DEM, DSM and contour set
  • Elevation profiles and cross-sections
  • Slope and site suitability map

How it works

Part of Advanced Geospatial Engineering

  1. 1

    Survey the ground

    Drone or LiDAR capture, tied to ground control points.

  2. 2

    Model the surface

    Point clouds become a DEM, checked against independent check points.

  3. 3

    Compare to design

    The existing surface is differenced against your design or the previous epoch.

  4. 4

    Report volumes

    Cut and fill per zone, with the surfaces and RMSE attached.

Who uses it

Works with

Put earthwork to work on your site.

A KML, a sketch on a map or a district name is enough to start.
