Cut & Fill Analysis

Cut & Fill Analysis


We can utilise proposed and existing DTM's to create Cut & Fill analysis reports.

This report will:

  • Quantify the respective amounts of Cut & Fill to, for example, road formation level, foundation / slab formation levels, hard & soft landscaping formation levels.

  • Indicate whereabouts on the project these particular Cut & Fill areas are

  • Calculate the amounts of stone / tarmac required to construct a carriageway, stone to the underside of a slab, topsoil or capping layer to grassed areas for instance. (We would require respective road construction / foundations / slab / floor / landscaping details for this).


We can split different areas of the DTM up into particular surfaces dependant on your project type and specific requirements, for example :

  • Tarmac

  • Grass

  • Flagging

  • Block paving

  • Floor slab etc.

This enables us to quantify the volume and area of each item / surface individually.

We can then break these individual item's / surfaces's down further and apply the relevant related construction element depths to your specification.

This could be stone / soil / tarmac for instance, giving us volume quantities for each construction element. Please see below :

To run an analysis on your project we would require an existing Topographical Survey for the site, done by us or others, and the Proposed drawings in CAD format. This will enable us to create each respective DTM.

We would also require construction depths / sections for particular items such as carriageways, grassed areas, floor slabs etc. if you require the construction element volume breakdown.
