Volume Calculations, Surface
Modelling & Machine Control

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.

Benefits to Volume calculations:

  • Accurate estimations when pricing projects.
  • Accurate volumes for ordering/ hauling
  • Programming works.
  • Identifying Cut & Fill areas on projects.
  • Quality Assurance Documents.
  • Choosing correct plant for the task.

Surface Modelling & Machine Control

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

  • Faster Completion
  • Greater accuracy
  • Lower Costs
  • Increased Safety

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.
