2. Cut and fill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_and_fill

   A number of software products are available for calculating cut and fill. A simple approach involves defining different earthworks features in a computer program and then adjusting elevations manually to calculate the optimal cut and fill. More sophisticated software is able to automatically balance cut and fill while also considering the ...

3. Earthworks (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworks_(engineering)

   In that case, earthwork software is principally used to calculate cut and fill volumes which are then used for producing material and time estimates. Most products offer additional functionality such as the ability to takeoff terrain elevation from plans (using contour lines and spot heights ); produce shaded cut and fill maps; produce cross ...

4. Construction estimating software - Wikipedia

   The SharpeSoft Estimator, displaying an example of a trench calculation. Calculations: Most estimating programs have built-in calculations ranging from simple length, area, and volume calculations to complex industry-specific calculations, such as electrical calculations, utility trench calculations, and earthwork cut and fill calculations.

5. Grading (earthworks) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_(earthworks)

   Section through railway track and foundation showing the sub-grade. Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, [1] for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage.

6. Cut (earthworks) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_(earthworks)

   In civil engineering, a cut or cutting is where soil or rock from a relative rise is removed. Cuts are typically used in road, rail, and canal construction to reduce a route's length and grade. Cut and fill construction uses the spoils from cuts to fill in defiles to create straight routes at steady grades cost-effectively.

7. Underground hard-rock mining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_hard-rock_mining

   Cut and fill mining is an expensive but selective method, with the advantages of low ore loss and dilution. [4] Drift and fill is similar to cut and fill, except that it is used in ore zones, which are wider than the method of drifting will allow to be mined. In this case, the first drift is developed in the ore, and is backfilled using ...
