In a sense volume calculations are to work how much material you need to move from one place to another. Whether that be topsoil, subbase, concrete, etc. With the cost to remove and import material being so high, volume calculations have become an essential aspect of every project. We can produce drawings showing cut & fill balances for whatever your project needs.
Machine control for many is a new and emerging technology which is mainly used in major earthwork projects. However, this is changing across the industry and become more popular across all types of projects. It consists of: creating 3D digital plans of the project, using GPS/GNSS systems to tell the machine where it is on site and sensors on the blade or bucket to tell the system how high or low it is.
Benefits
Our experienced surveyors can produce 3D surface models to enable you to excavate roads, foundations, retaining walls, attention ponds/tanks along with traditional cut & fill.
As good as this technology is it does have its limitations GPS coverage and accuracy being the most. Feel free to contact us with your requirements and we will be happy to assist wherever possible.
